DMK Adopts ‘Anda Politics’: Hot Food Boxes Distributed to Energize Cadres, District Secretaries Pleased
The DMK has reportedly taken up what is being referred to as “Anda politics”, a strategy aimed at energizing party cadres at the grassroots level. As part of this initiative, hot food boxes are being distributed to party workers to boost morale and strengthen organizational bonding, especially during meetings, campaigns, and field activities.According to party sources, the move is intended to encourage and motivate “Udanpirappugal” (party cadres) by addressing their basic needs during long political engagements. The gesture has been received positively, with many workers appreciating the leadership’s attention to their comfort and well-being.District Secretaries (Ma.Se.Kal) are said to be particularly pleased with the initiative, as it has helped improve participation levels and enthusiasm among cadres. Political observers note that such practical, ground-level measures often play a key role in maintaining cadre loyalty and discipline, especially during crucial political phases.The strategy is also being viewed as part of the DMK’s broader effort to strengthen its organizational machinery, ensuring that party workers remain motivated and actively involved in outreach programs and political activities.While critics may view the move symbolically, supporters argue that it reflects the party’s understanding of cadre psychology and the importance of small but meaningful gestures in sustaining long-term political engagement.
