DMK is trying to divide the country; they want to rule this nation and suppress all other regime people and languages. This is never going to happen.
However, in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) won 38 of 39 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu and registered a landslide victory in the state.
