To contest the assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, BJP and AIADMK have definitely tied up but questions have also been raised about the nature of this alliance. The statement of AIADMK General Secretary and Opposition Leader Palaniswami has made it clear that the alliance has been done only in electoral terms and there is still a lack of trust between the two parties.
In fact, Palaniswami has made it clear that the party has aligned with the BJP only to contest the assembly elections. He said that in the event of winning the election, we have no promise or intention to form a government with the BJP. Palaniswami’s statement has made it clear that his party does not want to form a government with the BJP.
Will not partner in Tamil Nadu power
Union Home Minister Amit Shah had recently announced an alliance with the AIADMK for the Tamil Nadu assembly elections. He said that our alliance against Stalin -led coalition will contest with full firmly. Shah had said that at the national level we will contest the election under the leadership of PM Modi and the leader of AIADMK in Tamil Nadu.
In such a situation, it was believed that in the event of victory in the assembly elections, the two parties will form the government together, but Palaniswami has given a big blow to the BJP. He clearly stated that his relationship with BJP is only for the 2026 assembly elections. Not for partnership in power.
No promise of coalition government
During the interaction with the media, Palaniswami said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah never said that there will be a coalition government in Tamil Nadu. We have only said that the two parties together have formed an alliance to contest the assembly elections. We never said that we will form a coalition government.
Palaniswami said that Amit Shah did not mention the coalition government. He took my names for Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Delhi and Tamil Nadu. Palaniswami said that whenever we form an alliance, the DMK government of the state gets irritated. DMCo is afraid of his further politics.
BJP’s top leadership will decide
The BJP’s response to this statement of Palaniswami has also come to light. Tamil Nadu BJP President Nanar Nagendran said that the BJP’s top leadership will decide on the issue of forming coalition government in the state. He said that when the right time comes, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and AIADMK Secretary will take a decision about the coalition government. However, it has become clear from Palaniswami’s statement that the AIADMK can claim to form a government alone if the coalition is won.
Cleaning after the displeasure of some leaders
Sources say that some AIADMK leaders are angry about the alliance with the BJP and that is why an explanation has been given by Palaniswami. Angry party leaders believe that the party may have to be deprived of the votes of the minority community due to the alliance with the BJP. In fact, the results that AIADMK has fought in the state so far by alliance with BJP has not been good. It is believed that Palaniswami has given this statement.
