Chennai, April 2 The DMK-led alliance is projected to maintain power with a significant majority in the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, according to a survey released by Poll Tracker on Thursday.
The survey predicts a clear advantage for the alliance, forecasting it to secure between 172 and 178 seats in the 234-member assembly. The primary opposition, led by the AIADMK, is projected to lag significantly, with 46 to 52 seats.
The DMK-led bloc is expected to garner 42.7% of the total votes. The newly formed Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor-politician Vijay, is projected to make a notable debut with a 19.2% vote share, translating to 6 to 12 seats. Meanwhile, the NTK is expected to secure between 0 and 2 seats with 5.1% of the vote share.
The poll analysis indicates that the alliance between the AIADMK and the BJP has contributed to a consolidation of minority votes against the AIADMK-led front. It further notes that multiple communities, including the Mudaliar, Naidu, and Muslim communities, are broadly inclined toward the DMK alliance.
