Coimbatore: Actor Ajith Kumar's fan club in the district has pledged their support to the AIADMK in Coimbatore for the upcoming assembly election.
Members of the Thala Ajith Fans Club of Coimbatore district met former minister SP Velumani when he was campaigning near R S Puram under his constituency in the city on Friday and extended their support.
Political analysts suggest the move is a strategic victory for the AIADMK, in consolidating the youth vote. The public backing of a massive fan base like Ajith's is being seen as a significant boost for the party. They added that in a region where cinema and politics often intersect, such a ‘star-powered' endorsement will help the party tap into a loyal and motivated demographic.
