As the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections approach, BJP National Spokesperson CR Kesavan has labeled the upcoming 2026 elections as the 'Waterloo' for the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, led by Chief Minister MK Stalin. Kesavan claims there is a 'tidal wave of enormous anger and resentment' against the DMK, suggesting that even its allies are distancing themselves from Stalin. He pointed out the absence of joint appearances between DMK and Congress leaders, questioning the strength of their alliance. In response, MK Stalin criticized the BJP-led central government for its proposed delimitation bill, asserting that it targets progressive states like Tamil Nadu. The elections will occur in a single phase on April 23, with counting set for May 4, where the DMK-led alliance will compete against the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by AIADMK's Edappadi K Palaniswami.
