Following a surprising defeat in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections held on April 23, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party is determined to remain robust and bounce back. DMK Organisation Secretary RS Bharathi reflected on the party's historical ups and downs, recalling the 1991 elections when they faced significant losses but rebounded to form a government in 1996. Bharathi noted that the vote share difference between the DMK and the winning party was not substantial, with the DMK receiving 24.19% compared to the winning party's 34.92%. DMK President M K Stalin emphasized the importance of ideology over mere electoral success, stating that the party would continue its commitment to public welfare as it transitions to the role of the main opposition party. The recent elections also saw actor-politician Vijay's newly formed Tamil Nadu Vanniyar Katchi (TVK) emerge as the single largest party, marking a significant shift in the state's political landscape.
