Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader Thol. Thirumavalavan spoke out against the BJP’s hate politics, which he claimed is aimed at eliminating parties like the Congress and the Communists. He predicted that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will start his campaign in 2029 and will eventually end the BJP’s reign.
CPI(M) state secretary K. Balakrishnan also voiced his concerns about the “One Nation, One Election” proposal, calling for a strong political movement to dismantle it if it is enforced. He emphasized the need for a national-level political struggle against such attempts.
