Chairman of The Hindu Group, N Ram, speaks to NDTV’s Rahul Kanwal at the NDTV Tamil Nadu Summit, reflecting on nearly six decades of covering elections in the state. Drawing parallels with the landmark 1967 and 1989 elections, Ram argues that Tamil Nadu’s political landscape remains firmly rooted in Dravidian politics, with national parties continuing as junior partners. He says the BJP’s vote share remains in low single digits despite significant resources, and that the current contest resembles a multi-cornered fight similar to 1989. Citing recent opinion polls, Ram suggests that even a modest vote-share lead could translate into a landslide, reaffirming the state’s unique electoral dynamics.
