Kannadasan explains Annadurai Speech that “Brahmins are not our enemies”.

1957 திருச்சி தி.மு.க. மாநில மாநாட்டில், தான் பார்ப்பனர்களுக்கு எதிரி அல்ல என்றும், பார்ப்பனீயத்திற்கே எதிரி என்றும் அண்ணாத்துரை பேசினார்.

DMK's slogan of Dravida Nadu found no support in any state of India other than Tamil Nadu. The non-Tamil Dravidian speakers perceived the ambitions of the Tamil politicians as hegemonic, ultimately leading to the failure of the Dravida Nadu concept. Kavignar Kannadasan explains about DMK Party in his book Titled “Vanavaasam”.


The decline in support for the Dravida Nadu within the DMK can be traced back to as early as the Tiruchi party conference in 1956, when the party decided to compete in the Tamil Nadu state assembly elections of 1957. E.V.K. Sampath, who was leading a faction within DMK, argued that Dravida Nadu was "not feasible".


In the 1957 elections, DMK managed to win only 15 of the 205 seats in the state assembly. In Tiruchi party conference 1957, Annadurai stated that Brahmins are not our enemies and we are against only Brahmanism.
