DMK’s Strategy

• Forged an ideological alliance with Congress, Left parties, and Dalits-led Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK).

• The alliance’s strength lies in its inherent framework of mutual accountability.

• The VCK’s presence represents a corrective mechanism to the DMK’s historical limitations.

• Tamil Nadu’s active civil society champions a nuanced secularism, fostering inter-religious bonds.
