Despite polling an impressive 6.58% in the State Assembly election in 2021, Naam Tamilar Katchi, headed by filmmaker-turned-politician Seeman, has been facing setbacks. The party suffered a slump in the recently-held urban local bodies elections, and now, it is struggling to keep its flock together.
On Monday, around 2,600 NTK cadre, including prominent office-bearers, and some AIADMK cadre, joined the DMK in the presence of party leader and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin.
