AIADMK Leader Attributes Bihar Victory to Electoral Roll Revision, Predicts Tamil Nadu Sweep
DINDIGUL, India – November 18, 2025 – Senior AIADMK leader and former Minister Dindigul C. Srinivasan today credited the Election Commission of India’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls for the National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) victory in the recent Bihar Assembly elections.
Speaking to reporters after a tribute to freedom fighter V. O. Chidambaranar in Dindigul, Srinivasan expressed optimism about the AIADMK-led alliance’s prospects in the upcoming 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections. He predicted a sweeping victory, drawing parallels between the political climate in Bihar and Tamil Nadu. “Like Nitish Kumar in Bihar, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami will become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu,” he stated.
Srinivasan also addressed concerns surrounding the ongoing SIR exercise in Tamil Nadu, questioning the opposition from Chief Minister and DMK leader M.K. Stalin and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He dismissed their concerns as unfounded, noting the routine nature of the revision and the active participation of DMK cadres in assisting Booth Level Officers. “There was nothing to oppose the exercise which was routine. It was also conducted under the Congress regime. It was the DMK cadres who were showing interest. They can be seen everywhere assisting the Booth Level Officers in the SIR exercise, he said.
Finally, responding to protests by government officials regarding their workload, Srinivasan acknowledged their demands as legitimate and urged the government to address their charter of concerns.
