The defeat of the AIADMK will be more pronounced in Tamil Nadu’s western districts, where its general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami had launched the party’s [Assembly] election campaign “as a supposed stronghold”, Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin said at Udumalpet in Tiruppur district on Monday (August 11, 2025).
According to Mr. Stalin, since the DMK government has performed remarkably well in the western districts, the AIADMK will suffer its worst defeat in the region, akin to the drubbing it had received in the local body polls.
