Left parties turn to social media to reach voters in TN bypolls

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 4 (IANS) Candidate-focused social media pages, WhatsApp groups, and dedicated channels are shaping the Left parties outreach in Tamil Nadu's Madurantakam and Dharapuram, where the CPI and CPI(M) are using digital platforms to connect with voters ahead of the Assembly bypolls. Having largely contested elections within alliances, the parties are drawing on their cadre networks to circulate campaign updates, present their candidates views and bring attention to local issues flagged by voters. Party functionaries said workers and supporters are sharing the material voluntarily through WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. The campaigns do not involve paid promotions or bulk SMS messaging, they added. The CPI(M)s Madurantakam campaign alone has established over 100 WhatsApp groups. S. Kannan, the partys campaign in-charge, said each brings together roughly 30 party members and 300-500 voters drawn from the locality concerned. The groups provide an avenue for circulating campaign messages among voters while helping party workers coordinate their activities across different parts of the constituency. The CPI(M) has also established a dedicated WhatsApp channel and separate Facebook and Instagram pages for the bypoll, said Suthir, the partys state social media in-charge. Its social media pages carry the title Vote for Suganthi, placing the Madurantakam candidate at the centre of the partys online campaign. The platforms are being used to share her positions and the partys views on public issues. To connect its printed publicity material with its digital campaign, the CPI(M) has included QR codes on pamphlets distributed to voters. Scanning the codes enables residents to follow campaign updates and access the partys views through its online platforms. In Dharapuram, the CPI has organised its digital outreach by dividing the constituency into three parts. It has created a WhatsApp channel for each section under the title Dharapuram Idathu Pakkam, which party members translate as Dharapuram is for the Left. Around 100 WhatsApp groups have also been formed in the constituency, giving the party an additional network for distributing messages and coordinating campaign work. Across both constituencies, the approach combines party organisation with digital communication. Cadres circulate material through groups, while dedicated channels and social media pages allow voters to follow the campaign. The two parties are extending their outreach through platforms already used by voters, with supporters carrying their messages into networks as campaigning continues in Madurantakam and Dharapuram.

Dharapuram bypoll will mark TVK's turning point: TN Minister

Digital Desk | Erode, Oct 4 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Minister Sengottaiyan on Sunday said the Dharapuram Assembly bypoll would mark a turning point in the states politics, asserting that enthusiasm for Chief Minister Vijay would translate into a significant victory for the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Speaking to reporters in Erode, Sengottaiyan said CM Vijay was scheduled to conduct a roadshow as part of the election campaign in Dharapuram. He described the constituency as one that would acquire special significance through the outcome of the contest. The minister claimed that people across the constituency were eager to see the Chief Minister and said the response reflected the support Vijay enjoyed among voters. He maintained that the public enthusiasm would strengthen the partys prospects in the bypoll. Wherever we look, people are eagerly waiting for an opportunity to see Chief Minister Vijay, Sengottaiyan said, expressing confidence that the party would secure a victory that would find a place in Tamil Nadus political history. He described Vijays leadership as a major blessing for the people and claimed that the TVK government was providing an administration free of corruption. The minister presented the partys record in office as a central reason for his confidence in its electoral prospects. Sengottaiyan said the Dharapuram contest would be different from other elections because of its potential to reshape the political landscape. He characterised the bypoll as a turning point, linking his prediction to the reception accorded to CM Vijay. In a pointed attack on the states two established political rivals, the minister claimed that the scale of the TVKs victory would discourage both the DMK and the AIADMK from contesting the next bypoll. His remarks placed the Dharapuram election within the wider contest for political influence in Tamil Nadu, with Sengottaiyan projecting a strong result as evidence of TVKs growing appeal. However, his statements about the outcome and its implications were predictions made during the campaign. He did not provide a projected victory margin or explain the basis for his claim that rival parties would stay away from a subsequent bypoll. The ministers comments came ahead of CM Vijays roadshow, which he portrayed as another opportunity for people to see the Chief Minister. Sengottaiyan maintained that the enthusiasm surrounding the visit would contribute to a memorable electoral success for the ruling party.

TN ministerial team to visit Kerala on Monday for Anamalayar-Nallaru project talks

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 4 (IANS) A delegation of Tamil Nadu ministers is expected to travel to Kerala on Monday to continue discussions on the Anamalayar-Nallaru project, a longstanding demand of farmers seeking improved irrigation facilities in Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Erode districts. According to reports, the delegation will comprise state Water Resources Minister Anand, Revenue Minister Sengottaiyan, Public Welfare Minister Arunraj and Tourism Minister Rajesh Kumar. The ministers are expected to meet Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan and the states Irrigation Minister to discuss the proposed project and its implementation. The visit, scheduled for October 5, is intended to carry forward discussions between the two states. However, the report does not specify the meeting venue, the detailed agenda or whether any formal agreement is expected during the talks. Farmers in the three western Tamil Nadu districts have long sought implementation of the Anamalayar-Nallaru project to strengthen irrigation facilities. Their demand forms the central backdrop to the proposed ministerial visit, which will bring the issue before Keralas political leadership. The delegations discussions are expected to focus on the projects implementation. The available information does not indicate whether the ministers will present a revised proposal, seek specific clearances or discuss a timetable for further negotiations. With the Water Resources Minister forming part of the delegation, the proposed meeting will provide an opportunity for direct discussions on the irrigation initiative. The participation of three other ministers also places the visit within a broader ministerial engagement between Tamil Nadu and Kerala. For farmers awaiting progress, the immediate significance of the visit lies in the continuation of discussions on a demand that has remained pending for years. The outcome will depend on what the two sides agree to take forward after their meeting. No details have been provided on the projects estimated cost, funding arrangements, construction schedule or the envisaged irrigation coverage. The report also does not mention any decision already reached between the two governments on these aspects. The planned visit, therefore, represents another round of discussions on the proposal. Whether it produces a concrete decision, a further meeting or additional examination of the project will become clear only after the talks. The focus now turns to Mondays expected meeting with CM Satheesan and the Irrigation Minister, as Tamil Nadu seeks to advance discussions on the farmers longstanding irrigation demand.

Digital Desk | Dharapuram, Oct 4 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay will undertake a roadshow in Dharapuram on Sunday to seek votes for Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) candidate Sathyabama, as campaigning for the October 6 Assembly bypoll enters its final hours.

Canvassing is scheduled to end at 6 p.m. The reserved constituency in Tiruppur district is witnessing a five-cornered contest involving TVK, DMK, AIADMK, Naam Tamilar Katchi and the Communist Party. Altogether, 22 candidates, including nominees of political parties and Independents, are in the fray.

Black flag march today against proposed TN's Pattinapakkam secretariat complex

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 4 (IANS) Fishermen from 10 coastal villages in Pattinapakkam will stage a black flag march on Sunday in protest against the Tamil Nadu governments proposal to use land in the area for the construction of a new Assembly and Secretariat complex. The protest, organised by the Mylapore Area All Fishermen Village Panchayat Council, will be staged at the Mullikuppam-Srinivasapuram Loop Road junction. Residents of the fishing settlements will also hoist black flags along the beachfront as a mark of opposition to the project. The council has demanded that the state government withdraw GO 564, which it said provides for the proposed Assembly and Secretariat complex at Pattinapakkam. Fishermen maintain that the land should continue to be reserved for the welfare, rehabilitation and housing needs of the traditional fishing community. Sundays demonstration is the latest in a series of protests against the proposal. Fishermen had staged an agitation on September 29, urging the government to revoke the order and ensure that the land remained available to the coastal community. With no change in the governments position, the village council decided to intensify its campaign through the black flag protest. According to the council, land falling under Survey Nos. 4592 and 4593. was originally acquired through GO Ms No. 3313, dated October 10, 1957, specifically for the rehabilitation and long-term housing of fishermen living in the locality. The council argued that using the property for a government administrative complex would go against the purpose for which it was acquired and would undermine assurances previously given to the fishing community. Fishermen have also cited the states climate vulnerability assessments while opposing any move to relocate residents from the area. They claimed that the assessments indicate Mullikuppam would remain relatively safe from projected sea-level rise through 2050 and 2100. The fishing community has urged the government to formally recognise the locality as a fishermen's residential zone under the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification, 2019. The protesters said coastal land traditionally associated with fishing communities should be protected for their housing and livelihood requirements rather than diverted for major infrastructure projects. They have called on the government to reconsider the proposed allocation and hold consultations with residents before proceeding with the Secretariat project.
