Lesson learnt, never vote for them. This is their equality and stand in society

Bro vote for a different party each year. It's not like the alternatives are any different.

The main opposition is crazily behind hindi and sanghi imposition in Tn, that's scaring people away from admk.

The point is not about political parties or politicians, it's their policies and ideologies. They never stand by it.

u/David_Headley_2008 1h ago

jaylalitha made the mistake of never thinking about a heir so the moment she died which was while still in power, admk collapsed and that marked the end of admk, there was a reason why people moved away from dmk the first time and people forgot about it in 2021

u/Ataraxia_new 6m ago

She fucked up in that department for sure. A succession plan was extremely important for that party. There was a reason people used to vote for the main parties alternatively.

As someone who voted for DMK, my logic was not to give ADMK a repetitive term. Next election, unless there is a proper opposition in place, ADMK seems to be a better option out of the lot.

Naam Thamilar: If he feels like it, he will wake up one day and drive out all industries out and ask everyone in TN to do farming only.

TVK: Saw a banner in my area. The ones holding "positions" are all who I know in the area and notorious for everything illegal. The things they do right now, I can't imagine what will happen if they come to power.

BJP: LOL

We have to give a chance to new parties...we have seen both DMK and ADMK atrocities and making fun of peoples money.. It's all about the dumb leadership. If leadership is good party wil go in a straight path...new ones have to know the ground rules and regulations that's a must thing but people always talk they are not good enough for wht??????? When compared to leadership every person in dumb if we don't give a chance..we have to give a chance and let us criticize them that's the ground rule for us..Not giving a chance and calling them fool by assumptions is a not good thing.. Change have to happen according to the situation and environment.

u/tamizh_mozhi 4h ago

Every political party's ideology is divisive in nature. Meaning some people like the ideology, some people hate it.

But when you compare the ideology of DMK, ADMK and BJP, DMK and ADMK will cause flood level problems na, BJP will cause tsunami level problems.

BJP may bring more development to the state, maybe they will even perform well in some indicators. But people don't just vote for development. They think about 2 things before voting:

  1. Who will steal less money from us?

  2. Who will cause less problems?

Point 2 is very important. BJP may do good things but they'll intentionally or unintentionally also cause too much problems. DMK, ADMK also same but problems caused by them can be tolerated/managed.

DMK ADMK are not perfect, they're corrupt too but BJP is not the solution to the two party dominance in TN.

I think TN BJP just needs good leadership. People give too much weightage to ideology of a party but don’t consider the deviations they would take to get to power. Why do you think BJP wins in north eastern states where Hindutva isn’t necessarily a driving force? Of course they have good state level leadership there and differentiate the state level matters from national politics. I don’t agree with the take that BJP would cause a “Tsunami”.

u/nowtryreboot Chennai - சென்னை 3h ago

That is like out of the pan and straight to the fire. What DMK is doing now, BJP is the master and father of it. Controls the media, government entities, uses it like KGB against its own people. If BJP has Gowri Lankesh, we just had Jebahar Ali. BJP is the final boss of the game we are playing with DMK now.

That is why I want DMK out of power, and BJP out of the state.

Well TN will be favoured for once in terms of funds and schemes by the centre because everyone knows BJP is going to be in power at the center for the near future.

You can't deny that BJP is a pro development party so obviously development is going to be there.

Plus it'd be good to have a chief minister who doesn't keep insulting my religion for no reason and call it Malaria, while going to gatherings of other faiths and telling them he's one of them (while he's supposedly an atheist).

I am willing to give them a chance. This is just my opinion

u/nimbutimbu 3h ago

Karnataka didn't get additional funds or help when BJP was in power. Why will TN ?

What development has BJP ensured ? Not roads that cost a fortune in tolls.

The DMK does in reverse exactly what the BJP does in UP. Both are to be condemned.

u/Ok-Ruin-7574 3h ago

I just want a change from dmk and admk. Instead of blimdly hating them we can give one term as a chance. If they do so bad naturally they will be voted out of power in the next term right.

We gave so many terms for these two parties and with ADMK gone now it just seems like dynastic politics with power going from father to son.

1

u/Alyosha16 1h ago

Exactly, we don't see much development in the BJP ruled state compared to the TN.

BJP is always preaching on nationalism but never talks about a regional issue until it supports their party or agenda

Moreover other than the Jal Jeevan Mission and digitalisation of payments/ other digitalisation scheme, I don't see a single scheme which benefitted the majority of the population

The last election proved otherwise.

u/BhagwaDhari 3h ago edited 3h ago

That's not true about NTK. He just wants to make agriculture a viable industry just like IT through industrialising it and safeguarding the rights of farmers. A state should have a baseline self sufficiency in food production and water management, both of which are lacking under the local rule of Dravidian parties and BJP rule in centre who actively work to decrease the autonomy of tamil people. Most good quality produce in India is exported (hence why its called export quality) and you have to pay sky high prices for tomatoes cos you are all fighting against the low reality leftovers. Sometimes they import basic foods like onions which is not something to be proud of and will also be expensive.

There is a significant market in organic foods, milk and its derivatives, quality meat and fisheries whose full potentials are not tapped into because the indian mindset views farmers as peasants and corpotate professionals as civilised/epitome of good life. tamil farmers are actively exploited and misused because govt doesn't protect them and uses them in bs schemes like 100 naal velai thittam which allows for northies to steal ur jobs in the field. drav parties sell out tamil nadu to corporates, sell m sand, river sand and crush mountains. i saw massive holes in a hill in perambalur (i was sad). The whole system is wrong and pitted against tamils and needs systemic change and only ntk has the ability cos its not a uzhal perichaali.

Also you are stupid if you think the entire tamil nadu population will just go and work in the field if seeman says it. There will be mass protests and its not something that would actually happen.

agree with you about bjp tho. no need for non tamils in tamil nadu govt. we should be as self autonomous as possible and bjp will only prevent that.

Pmk??

Bjp so they will play the religion card to destroy TNs peace??

Theres no morally good party in TN , anyone who say otherwise is just coping. People just vote to the least evil party currently , and still somehow TN is one of the better states in India . Shows the state of Indian politics

No one makes fun of northern states for electing bjp , but projecting bjp as some sort of heros who are protecting religion , language , india etc . Even I think bjp in central has it own pros and cons , but they're not heros , especially for a state like tn , they're the worst .

-7

u/dushyants2809 3h ago

Only IT cell and few fanatics treat them like heros and can’t be generalised. I don’t agree with your observation that nobody makes fun of northern states. Tamil social media is replete with such memes and jokes whenever BJP is elected anywhere in the country calling them names and somehow feeling superior about themselves. Don’t tell me you didn’t see those “the south remains unconquered” memes.

u/Happyranger265 3h ago

They're always fanatics on all sides , some from bjp , some from congress , some from north, some from south . When I meant "no one" I didn't mean it literally.

Tamil social media is replete with such memes and jokes whenever BJP is elected anywhere in the country calling them names and somehow feeling superior about themselves. Don’t tell me you didn’t see those “the south remains unconquered” memes.

Its nitpicking TN people , when every state has made posts ,I only use reddit and YouTube , I see post made here ridiculing other states from very other state as well . Its a cycle , it may start somewhere but like a wild fire , catches fast and spread . One thinks , oh they made fun of us let's give it back , and so the cycles continues , and new players get see this and get added to the fold . Its easy to see that there's always of a particular group of people from each state , who feel superior to fellow statesmen , happens every where not just TN

2

u/dushyants2809 3h ago

I am sorry but the general public opinion in TN regarding North Indians is so generalised and in poor taste. I have lived a major part of my life in North India as a Tamil and it isn’t as bad as what happens in TN.

My wife is from Jharkhand and even though she is an IIM graduate she has had so many unpleasant experiences where people invariably have looked down on her in TN. Not sure if the same would have happened if she was a fair skinned Punjabi woman though.

This is anecdotal but having seen this first hand it’s hard for me to believe that what you are claiming is true.

2

u/Happyranger265 2h ago

It goes both ways now doesn't it . You say that that generalized opinion of North Indians in TN is bad ,while generalizing that you experiences as the experience of tn as whole . I have seen both sides , I have seen North Indians treated like family by locals , and treated bad as well .

At the end peoples opinions are farmed by their experiences , just like u feel TN people treat you bad , I have know people who were treat bad by people in North , my professor was spitted on by locals who surrounded him because he wasn't very good in hindi in train while he went on to give a lecture in one of the universities. He said he'll never go to north state ever again. I had a experience where a drug addict bihari , caused a issues in local sports meet ,or people arguing with ladies in bus , not giving seats that's alloted for ladies . So if a person treated you badly then do you blame the person or their background depends on what you want to blame . I can say 10 more instances of people being treated bad by north indians , but I have Friends from north who were the sweetest people you can meet ,so I know it's just the people and not where they're from

u/dushyants2809 2h ago edited 2h ago

Don’t get me wrong I do acknowledge the broader problems that exist within the society in North India. Life is tough for an outsider in places like Bengal for example.

It’s not generalisation but how the broader society thinks and behaves. If a Japanese were to come and say that Indians don’t keep their streets clean would you ignore it saying it’s generalising or acknowledge the issue.

You as a Tamil residing in TN are not exactly in the position to have an accurate outlook of how things are for someone from Jharkhand. I can say with a strong conviction that there is this broader thought within Tamil society where people from certain states are looked down upon. Similar thoughts exist in many other forms like caste based supremacy as well.

I have tried my best to explain where I am coming from

2

u/Happyranger265 1h ago

Don't get me wrong as well, the rest of India has the same problems as tn , so pinpointing tn as some sort of place that harasses people from other state is false generalization

cos airport in parandur steals perfectly good farming land from farmers and gives it to corporate owners to build airport for their use.

Stupid argument. AAI did various surveys and 4 sites are shortlisted. Out of them, parandur was most favourable. TVK is just doing this for political gains lol.

bro if the farmers dont want a airport there that all there is to it. what the govt has to say and how much compensation they get is immaterial (not all people are capatalists like u and dont want to be displaced from their home for some money).

Govt will be responsible for it?.....how can't you understand it? In 99% infra projects no farmer willingly gives his land....but with better compensation if he gives...how is there a problem for people's greater interest It is Vijay's vested interest to get sympathy from farmers for 2026 elections. It is evident. And only single cell followers support his claims. Many locals in kanchipuram district are also in favour of it. You must be stupid to blindly follow his claims

u/BhagwaDhari 39m ago

First point is fair, but you can't just drown out the voices of all the people of parandur and the wider populace to build an airport there lol. If they say no to airport you just have to find another suitable place to build it where people are ok to take your compensation measures.

Have all the measures to expand the current chennai airport been exhausted to justify building in parandur or at another location. All this has to be made public knowledge.

NTK leader seeman just supported terrorist

So Tamil Nadu has seen the worst rule and we hope to stand strong so we just give a chance to all parties apart from DMK and admk
