The Hindu  

Parties in Tamil Nadu, especially the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, picked up huge digital slots, particularly on YouTube, this Assembly election, when compared to previous years. A source from the DMK’s IT wing said with people working from home after the COVID-19 outbreak, YouTube’s outreach was quite high. The prime reason for this is that after COVID-19, the consumption of information from YouTube, in particular, has increased,” Aspire K. Swaminathan, secretary, IT wing of the AIADMK in Chennai, said. The DMK’s ‘ Stalindhaan vararu vidiyal thara poraru ’ song and the AIADMK’s ‘ Vetri nadai podum Tamilagame ’ were among the popular videos that popped up this election season.
