In a video clip released just days before Tamil Nadu goes to polls, DMK supporters have decided to pay tribute to the show by explaining it with analogies from Tamil Nadu politics and multiple plotlines of Game of Thrones.
The Congress party has formed an alliance with the DMK for the Lok Sabha elections 2019.
Addressing an election rally in this industrial city, they claimed the Goods Services Tax (GST) and demonetisation had broken the backbone of the country’s economy and leading to closure of small industries in the state, rendering thousands of workers jobless.
DMK president M K Stalin on Saturday said the upcoming general elections will be akin to the second freedom struggle for people of India to fight against the "radical Hinduism" of the BJP.
Stalin also went on to say that Gandhi had the ability to defeat the "fascist" Narendra Modi government.
Stalin has been admitted to Apollo Hospital where he underwent a surgery to remove a cyst from his right thigh.
He will be the second President of the party, a post which was held by his father Karunanidhi for 49 long years.
Alagiri, the elder brother of Stalin, said Karunandihi wanted to readmit him into the party.
Karunanidhi had expelled Alagiri and his supporters from the party in 2014 at the height of his fight with Stalin over establishing supremacy in the party.
Alagiri visited Karunanidhi's memorial at Chennai's Marina beach on Monday. Talking to reporters later, Alagiri asserted that "true relatives" and supporters of his father are with his side.
Congress leader Sonia Gandhi condoled the death of Karunanidhi and wrote letter to his son MK Stalin describing the Kalaignar as "father figure" who always showed great kindness an consideration to her.
The Centre failed to set up the CMB within six weeks of the apex court's February 16 order. The deadline ended on March 29.
Stalin had written to Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami's government urging him not to allow Vishwa Hindu Parishad's rath yatra to enter the state borders as it could disrupt the communal harmony.
The yatra began in Uttar Pradesh on February 13, and is scheduled to end in Rameshwaram, a region in southern Tamil Nadu that features in the Hindu epic Ramayan.
Banerjee has taken a lead in defeating the BJP by talking to 'federal' parties. "We are on track", TMC Rajya Sabha member Derek O'Brien said.
Rajinikanth on Sunday confirmed his entry into politics, adding that he will be contesting in the next state assembly elections by forming a new party.
A high-level party meeting chaired by DMK working president MK Stalin yesterday claimed that "some hegemonic forces" had created an "imaginary account" of Rs 1.76 lakh crore loss, a reference to the Comptroller and Auditor General's estimate.
The ruling AIADMK today alleged there was a 'tacit understanding' between TTV Dinakaran and the opposition DMK to defeat it in the RK Nagar bypoll, in which the sidelined party leader emerged victorious.
The election is also seen as a litmus test for the ruling party which is facing a barrage of opposition accusations including alleged corruption.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday met DMK supremo M Karunanidhi at the latter's Gopalapuram residence here.
