The results of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections have brought monumental shifts, with TVK gaining the upper hand and unsettling power within the state's Dravidian political titans, DMK and AIADMK.
Political analysts foresee a major reconfiguration of leadership in these parties due to their poor electoral performances, with K C Palanisamy predicting intra-party demands to oust AIADMK General Secretary Palaniswami.
Similarly, the DMK's continuity with dynastic progression and alleged corruption could prompt allies such as VCK and Congress to reconsider their support, leaving the ruling party vulnerable.
