Marginal players not counted by AIADMK, DMK

Deccan Chronicle  

CHENNAI: The Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu is set to witness a six-cornered fight for the first time in decades, but the Dravidian majors, AIADMK and DMK, appear adopting a deliberate strategy to keep the high-stakes poll battle only between them by ‘ignoring’ other major and marginal players in their election campaign. Ramachandran adorned the throne for three consecutive terms, the arch-rivals are very careful in not giving “importance or recognition” to other major players in this election like DMDK-PWA combine and PMK, which is going solo. Even on issues like prohibition, which was brought to centrestage by PMK and DMDK-PWA combine, Jayalalithaa chose to attack only the DMK and former Chief Minister in every public rally she has addressed so far. Political observers feel one reason for AIADMK chief to not attack the DMDK-PWA combine could be because of the perception that the alliance would get a good chunk of the anti-incumbency votes.
