In Chennai, a political rally by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in Ambattur saw an unexpected moment on Wednesday.
A small group of volunteers from Shiv Sena UBT joined the campaign. The group wore saffron shawls with the party’s flaming torch symbol, which is linked to their identity.
Their sudden presence surprised many, including local DMK leaders. The volunteers came without prior notice and showed support for DMK candidate Dr A P Poornima.
The event added a different political tone to the rally, as Shiv Sena (UBT) is often associated with Hindutva ideology. Their participation stood out during the campaign and drew attention from those present.
Overall, the rally became notable for this unexpected support, highlighting changing political interactions during the election period.
