Tamil Nadu Goes to Polls

Over 60 million voters are eligible to cast their ballots in an election defined by debates over federalism, state identity, and governance.

Prominent figures including Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and superstar Rajinikanth were among the first to vote, urging citizens to fulfill their democratic duty.

The Election Commission has deployed over 80,000 police personnel and paramilitary forces to ensure a peaceful process.

While the campaign was relatively muted, the outcome is expected to have significant implications for the political landscape of southern India.
