00:00I'll bring in Anaga Keshav to understand what really is the standout factor in Madhurantakam.
00:05The other seat that's up for Bipuls, that's very close to Chennai.
00:08But Anaga, you know, in Madhurantakam where there's a 1-hour vote and you have no PMK factor, who does
00:14that really help?
00:18In fact, I was in Madhurantakam a couple of days back and I had a chance to speak to a
00:22lot of women farmers.
00:23And particularly what I picked up from that is that they're quite disappointed about the Maghiler Urumai Togai scheme.
00:29TVK before coming to power had promised 2,500 rupees for women, but now it's been close to four months,
00:35right?
00:35Ever since the TVK has come to power and still the 2,500 has still not been given.
00:41So therefore, that remains the biggest disappointment, you know, the women farmers of Madhurantakam.
00:46And this coupled with the fact, like you mentioned, that the PMK has not really extended support to any party.
00:52That could play out in the minds of all those people and might turn against TVK.
00:57But I also picked up a lot of pro-TVK sentiment in Madhurantakam.
01:02So when we compare between Madhurantakam and Darapuram, Madhurantakam looks more of a breeze for TVK than a Darapuram.
01:10Darapuram is still sort of a three-cornered fight with AIA-DMK still possibly having an edge.
01:14But for TVK in particular, whether they'll really be able to scale up that disappointment of not really fulfilling the
01:212,500 rupees scheme so far, that still remains a question mark in Madhurantakam.
01:26But the disappointment still lingers particularly in the minds of women.
01:30You know, in Madhurantakam, it'll largely be advantage TVK.
01:33Darapuram, still anyone's game, honestly.
01:36So we'll have to see what really happens.
01:37Friday is when we'll get those results.
01:39But like I've said, you know, in the last few days, the last few weeks, every big political leader has
01:46touched down in these two seats to campaign.
01:49And what's been rather unfortunate is also the ugly personal fights that's gotten rather out of hand during these elections.
01:56What do I mean?
01:57Here's a glimpse.
02:24Here's a glimpse.
02:33What do I mean?
