Hindustan Times  

Tamil Nadu witnessed a triangular contest this general elections with the Bharatiya Janata Party emerging as the third front into the Dravidian arena. DMK president and chief minister MK Stalin had swept 38 out of the 39 seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and has kept the same rainbow alliance intact where Congress is their principal ally. They aim to emerge second and push former ally AIADMK to the third position in as many Lok Sabha seats as possible. Political analyst Maalan Narayanan said, “If BJP either gets more vote share or seats than the AIADMK, it is going to be very difficult for EPS and the future of AIADMK.” “EPS may be forced to go into some compromises with the various factions. In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the AIADMK and BJP contested together.
