Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 5 (ANI): It is a crucial election for actor-turned-politician Vijayakanth not only because his party DMDK failed to open its account in the previous assembly polls but also because of his decision to leave the AIADMK-led alliance ahead of the state polls.
DMDK is contesting the Tamil Nadu elections in alliance with TTV Dhinakaran's Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK).
Vijayraj Alagarswami Vijayakanth, known as 'Captain', launched his own party Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) on September 14, 2005, in Madurai riding on his popularity as a film actor.

Like every other state in India, caste plays a critical part in elections in Tamil Nadu. No wonder then that in the run-up to the assembly elections, the ruling AIADMK along with its partner BJP, took two significant decisions that it thought would ensure the die was cast(e) in its favour on 6 April.

Concluding his campaign in Kovilpatti, where is contesting, he said the revival of Jayalalithaa’s rule, the prime objective of the AMMK, could be done only if the party candidates were elected.
Tamil Nadu voters should back the candidates of the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) to revive the rule of Jayalalithaa, general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran said on Sunday.
Concluding his campaign in Kovilpatti, where is contesting, he said the revival of Jayalalithaa’s rule, the prime objective of the AMMK, could be done only if the party candidates were elected. He said a new district, with Kovilpatti as its headquarters, would be created if his party won. New industries that would not affect the environment and agriculture and units making cattle-feed, with the rain-fed crops grown in and around the town, would be established.

D Kuppuramu: BJP's Candidate For Ramanathapuram Is The Man Whose Efforts Saved The Ram Setu

by Aravindan Neelakandan - Mar 17, 2021 11:40 AM
D Kuppuramu and the Ram Setu.
Snapshot
Today, Ramanathapuram is also notorious as a hotbed of Islamist radicalisation in Tamil Nadu.
It is from such a seat that the BJP has fielded D Kuppuramu, an RSS leader and advocate.
One does not have to know the historicity of the
Sri Ram Setu to save it. For all one knows, it may even be a natural formation. But the
puranic sacredness of
Sri Ram Setu is more real than any historicity.
It is a part of the sacred geography of India. It is environmentally a significant structure.
