Achievements
• Representing a party that grew its vote share six-fold from 1.06% in 2016 to 6.72% in 2021, establishing NTK as third-largest party in Tamil Nadu
NTK and its candidates receive mixed public sentiment, with growing support among youth and those seeking alternatives to traditional Dravidian parties, particularly for the party's Tamil nationalist stance. However, critics question the party's governance capability and ability to convert vote share into electoral victories, with the party often finishing third despite growing from 1.06% vote share in 2016 to 6.72% in 2021.
