Meanwhile, a survey by Lok Poll has projected a strong performance for the DMK-led alliance in the upcoming elections. According to the findings, the DMK+ alliance is expected to secure between 181 and 189 seats with a 40.1 per cent vote share in the 234-member Assembly.

The survey further indicated that the AIADMK-led alliance may win 38 to 42 seats with around 29 per cent vote share, while other players such as TVK could secure 8 to 10 seats with 23.9 per cent support. Smaller parties, including NTK and others, are projected to have minimal impact.
The projections underscore a potential advantage for the ruling alliance as it seeks re-election on the plank of welfare schemes and governance. However, opposition parties continue to challenge the DMK’s claims, setting the stage for a closely contested electoral battle.
The Tamil Nadu Assembly elections are scheduled for April 23, with counting of votes to take place on May 4. (ANI)
