TDP, AIADMK came second and third with earnings of Rs 72.92 crore and Rs 48.88 crore respectively; opposition parties received far lesser amounts, says ADR report.
The BJP has already peaked in the north and has also made an impressive debut in the northeast. So, the south is important for its 2019 Lok Sabha strategy.
The former AIADMK leader who launched his new party Thursday rose to prominence within a short period of time. His party flag bears a Jayalalithaa image.
The launch of Amma Makkal Munetra Kazhagam comes weeks after actors Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth took the political plunge and amid the continued political churn in Tamil Nadu.
Instead of placing himself above the people or the party cadres, Nammavar Kamal tries to project himself not as a leader but one among the teeming masses.
What made him ‘Akbar the Great’ was not the might of his armies alone, but the political architecture he built to sustain power over a subcontinent teeming with diversity.
