What are your thoughts on the AIADMK allotting 20 seats to the BJP for the Tamil Nadu election?

This is a masterstroke by BJP. By coercing ADMK to allot only 20 seats to them, they can:

  • Project an image that ADMK is the dominant partner.
  • Escape when the ADMK gets screwed in the election. BJP can then easily claim they lost due to anti-incumbency.
  • At the same time, if the alliance does win 60 seats or so as projected in the survey, BJP can use the Puducherry formula to emerge as the opposition party.

I really wish BJP got 50 or so seats though. DMK could have started with an immediate advantage of 50 seats. But smart play by BJP. ADMK as usual seems to have accepted its fate and possible demise after this election
