In a recent political development in Chennai, Udhaya, a prominent actor, has hailed fishermen as “living gods” and called upon them to campaign for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party. Udhaya made these remarks during a public event, emphasizing the importance of the fishing community in the state. The actor highlighted the challenges faced by fishermen and their significant contribution to society. He urged them to support the DMK in the upcoming elections, stating that the party has always worked for the welfare of fishermen. Udhaya’s appeal to the fishing community is seen as a strategic move to garner support for the DMK. The actor’s statement is likely to resonate with the fishing community, which plays a crucial role in the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu. The DMK, led by M.K. Stalin, has been actively engaging with various sections of society to strengthen its voter base ahead of the elections. With Udhaya’s endorsement, the party aims to secure the support of the fishing community, which could influence the electoral outcome in several constituencies. As political parties gear up for the upcoming polls, alliances and endorsements from influential figures like Udhaya are expected to play a significant role in shaping the electoral landscape in Tamil Nadu.
