Vallam Basheer believes DMK could benefit from the replacement of Governor Ravi, whose tenure has caused political friction. However, the new governor, while less confrontational, may still support BJP interests by appointing a BJP woman to a key role in the DMK administration ahead of the 2026 assembly polls. This could complicate DMK's internal dynamics but might also help them gain public sympathy as defenders of state autonomy, potentially making the political field more favorable if managed strategically.
