The space for EVR supporters is as packed as a Chennai bus in peak hours, and NTK's talk of equality isn’t far from the Dravidian parties' narrative on EVR's legacy. Could this be a smart move by Seeman to carve out a niche among EVR critics - a less crowded corner of Tamil Nadu politics? It seems he's betting on the idea that one can oppose Dravidian parties without siding with the BJP, making his sudden criticism of EVR a strategic pivot. It’s a clever play, but time will tell if it’s a game changer or just another political stunt.

As for Tamil Nadu politics, it’s been dodging real issues like avoiding potholes on Anna Salai. The focus stays on identity politics, the never ending State vs. Centre drama, language debates, and a brand of socialism filled with flashy welfare schemes that look good on paper but do little in practice. The public has been conditioned to believe that unwavering loyalty to a single party is some kind of moral virtue - an allegiance they must never abandon. And so, the same tired cycle of rotating incumbents drags on, thriving on blind devotion rather than meaningful progress.
