MDMK leader Vaiko announced unwavering confidence in the DMK-led coalition's triumph in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, scheduled with results to be announced on May 4. Vaiko dismissed discrepancies in exit polls, as he addressed media on May Day, suggesting ground realities favor the DMK alliance.
While various opinion polls overwhelmingly predict a victory for the DMK, some polls show potential successes for AIADMK or TVK. Vaiko stressed that these projections are speculative until the votes are officially tallied. He addressed May Day, criticizing the current central government for its pro-capitalist policies, detrimental to labor rights.
Reflecting on May Day's significance, Vaiko recounted his political efforts in 1990 to establish it as a central holiday, signaling continuous support for workers' rights. When questioned about voter sentiment for political change, he emphasized that conclusions will be definitive post-results, asserting confidence in the DMK's popular support.
