Political battle lines are being drawn (and re-drawn) in Tamil Nadu as the state goes to the Lok Sabha polls on April 24. Hectic back and forth parleys between the many parties in the southern state were witnessed last week as a clearer picture emerged for the 5 crore electorate. This time, the state will see a multi-corner contest with the main battle between two Dravidian giants - the AIADMK and the DMK.
With her eyes set on Parliament, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was the first to sound the poll bugle in the state by starting her campaign on March 3 from the temple town of Kancheepuram. While she was able to steal a march on her rival, the DMK by announcing candidates to all 39 seats in Tamil Nadu and the lone seat in Puducherry, but in doing so, the AIADMK chief ended up hurting the sentiments of her coalition partners - the Left front. With Amma refusing to allot more than a single seat each to CPI and CPI (M), the alliance folded on March 6, just over a month after it was formally announced. The Left parties now plan to go it alone in the state.
