Many people are wondering if the incumbent DMK can be overthrown as tamil Nadu progressively gets ready for the 2026 assembly elections.
 
Can the saffron party put up a meaningful fight in the 2024 lok sabha elections, where the bjp recorded its highest-ever vote share? And how would Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), founded by actor-turned-politician Thalapathy Vijay, influence the political landscape of the state?
 
The DMK-Congress combination is still in the lead, according to the india Today-CVoter Mood of the Nation (MOTN) survey, which predicts that they would win if elections were conducted today. Between january 2 and february 9, 2025, 125,123 people from all lok sabha segments participated in the poll, which blended new interviews with historical tracking data.
 

The Vote Share Battle
According to the poll, the opposition india group is expected to gain 5 percentage points, or 52%, of the vote. In the meantime, it is anticipated that the bjp, which won 18% in the general elections of 2024, will increase somewhat to 21%. It is anticipated that the AIADMK, which the DMK overthrew in 2021, will drop from 23% to 20%.
 

Will Forging Alliance With TVK & AIADMK Help bjp To Defeat DMK?
The bjp still has a long way to go in tamil Nadu, where it has historically had difficulty establishing itself, even with its increase in the party's vote share. Analysts, however, think that a partnership between Vijay's TVK and AIADMK would revolutionize the situation. Rajat Sethi, a political expert, noted that the bjp, led by K Annamalai, has achieved a significant milestone with a 20% vote share.

But it's still very difficult to go over this line and present the DMK with a serious threat. stated: "Under Annamalai's direction, the bjp has achieved the noteworthy 20% milestone. It will be crucial for the bjp to overcome it and take on the DMK, india Today reported him as saying.
