A recent political debate focused on the upcoming 2026 assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, analyzing past vote shares from 2016 and 2021. Discussions covered the DMK’s positions on federalism, language policy, and claims regarding withheld central funds. Critics questioned the ‘Dravidian model’ of governance, citing state borrowing levels and reliance on advertisements. The BJP’s representative attributed the 2024 Lok Sabha results to a vote split and predicted increased anti-incumbency against the ruling party, labeling its governance model as ‘failed’ across parameters like law and order and industrialization. Conversely, the Congress spokesperson highlighted the current government’s focus on economic growth and investments, asserting the party’s role in state politics. The debate also addressed the role of a prominent actor in state politics, allegations of vote theft, and internal party dynamics. Further discussion points included the Union government’s control over fuel prices, alleged lack of benefit transfer from Russian crude oil, and claims of the state government being ‘illegitimate’. The state’s economic performance, including GDP growth and the impact of natural calamities, was examined. Central government schemes like Skill India were contrasted with state initiatives such as the Non-Mudalvan scheme. Financial assistance from the central government, rising crime rates, and political succession were also discussed.
