State of play, Tamil Nadu: Counting on foes who are friends

The Hindu  

The ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam swept the Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, bagging all 40 seats. The DMK was aware that the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, the main opposition party in Tamil Nadu, was a divided house. According to the DMK, the Dravidian ideology has ensured that Tamil Nadu is a fortress against communal forces and has made it impossible for the BJP to permeate the State. Central agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate have been targeting one DMK leader after another in Tamil Nadu in the last few years.
