AIADMK embarks on an outreach in southern districts, the stronghold of the party once

The Hindu  

AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami’s visit to Pasumpon in Ramanathapuram district next week to pay homage to U. Muthuramalinga Thevar on the Forward Bloc leader’s birth anniversary has set tongues wagging about the party’s outreach in the southern districts, its stronghold once. The region — comprising 58 Assembly constituencies in the districts of Theni, Dindigul, Madurai, Virudhunagar, Sivaganga, Ramanathapuram, Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Tenkasi and Kanniyakumari — no longer provides the party with the electoral comfort. A week ago, he addressed an event to mark the party’s foundation day at Sankarankovil in Tenkasi district, an Assembly constituency that the party lost in 2021 for the first time in 25 years. Acknowledging the party’s special focus on the southern districts, Mr. Sundaram says the aim is to cash in on the “anti-incumbency” factor working against the ruling DMK.
