In a recent meeting in Chennai, Anbumani Ramadoss, the president of the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) party, expressed skepticism about the election victory of chief minister C Joseph Vijay and his party, the Tamil Nadu Vanniyar Katchi (TVK). Ramadoss claimed that the victory, with TVK securing 108 seats, does not reflect a 'tsunami' of public support, especially since the party lost in eight districts out of the 38 contested. He pointed out that a true tsunami would have resulted in a majority win of over 160 seats. Ramadoss noted that the PMK managed to win four seats from the 18 they contested. He acknowledged the voters' desire for change in Tamil Nadu but insisted that the results should be viewed with caution. Furthermore, Ramadoss appreciated Vijay's outreach to opposition leaders following the election and suggested the need for a caste survey to better understand the demographic landscape of the state. He emphasized the importance of this survey during their discussion, which lasted 30 minutes.
