PollSCAN TN | Thoothukudi 2026: DMK’s grip vs AIADMK’s survival

PollSCAN TN kicks off with Thoothukudi — a district where caste, community, and local issues shape every election. DMK looks strong with Geetha Jeevan, Anitha Radhakrishnan, and Kanimozhi anchoring the party, while AIADMK leans on Kadambur Raju’s Kovilpatti base.

But new entrants like Vijay’s TVK and Naam Tamilar, along with the BJP’s southern push, are adding fresh twists.

From Sterlite protests to fisherfolk livelihoods and the promise of jobs, Thoothukudi’s choices in 2026 will signal the direction of southern Tamil Nadu.
