Financial Express Mumbai|April 18, 2024

In Tamil Nadu, BJP faces win trust deficit hurdle

While the fight over resources has taken political wings during the campaign, that over representation manifests itself in ways unique to Dravidian political history Tamil pride and culture and opposition to Hindi, a centralised governance model, and the politics of polarisation based on faith.

The BJP did not ally with either of the two Dravidian parties, DMK or the AIADMK and is pushing hard to increase its vote share in the state. It hopes to bag at least four Lok Sabha constituencies Coimbatore, Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari in the state which it considers the last frontier in the south to get a foothold.
