Question

the political competation between different parties in tamil nadu

Answer 1

Politics in Tamil Nadu has had a strongly populist character since the rise of Dravidian politics in 1960s. In Tamil Nadu, DMK and AIADMK are alternately elected by people in Tamil Nadu and a strong third party does not exist. A dark side of Tamil Nadu politics is, that during the elections in Tamil Nadu the voters are bribed with money, colour television sets, laptops and household appliances.[1][2][3] This tactic is successfully used by the ruling ADMK and DMK to get an advantage over financially weaken opponents. Tamil Nadu has several caste parties who create Votebanks for rulling parties.[4] Many people from the Tamil film industry are active in Tamil Nadu politics. Some of the Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu like MG Ramachandran, Karunanidhi and Jayalalithaa have their background in the Tamil film industry. The worship of party leader by members, is widely spread in Tamil Nadu, sometimes it reaches a fanatical level. This worship culture originates during the era of MGR.[5]

The youngsters were often a factor that change the dynamic of Tamil Nadu politics, what can be seen in Anti-Hindi agitations of Tamil Nadu, 2013 Anti–Sri Lanka protests and 2017 pro-jallikattu protests.
