MDMK is contesting the Tiruchirappalli Lok Sabha seat, as per the seat-sharing deal agreed to by the INDIA bloc in the state.

Durai Vaiko has expressed confidence of his victory. He earlier accused the BJP of trying to crush opposition parties and misuse probe agencies.

"I am happy to inform that MDMK has been allocated the 'matchbox' symbol. The people of Trichy have already decided that they are going to vote for the INDIA alliance. With the blessings of our CM MK Stalin, we are very confident that we will triumph. The ruling BJP has been using central govt agencies like I-T, ED, CBI and now they have added Election Commission also to the list of agencies that are trying to crush the opposition in India," he told ANI last month.

In 2019, the DMK-led alliance swept the Lok Sabha polls in Tamil Nadu, winning 38 of the 39 seats. (ANI)
