TN polls 2016: DMDK joins PWF for Assembly polls

The DMDK on Wednesday joined hands with the People's Welfare Front (PWF) for the upcoming elections in Tamil Nadu. The alliance has left 120 out of 234 seats for the DMDK led by Vijaykanth.

BJP has a tough task in hand after DMK joined hands with Congress.


Why everybody wants to have an alliance with DMDK.

The development came just days after DMDK chief Vijaykanth decided to alone in the May 16 elections. The DMK and BJP were still trying to woo the actor-turned-politician to join their respective camps but the Captain's latest move will leave both of them disappointed, the saffron party more as it is without any ally in this election.

The DMK has allied with the Congress for this election.
