The chief minister will be from the AIADMK, Amit Shah has said in an interview. But, he did not name General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami as the CM candidate.
BJP, AIADMK have revived alliance ahead of TN polls. Ground realities have forced rethink on strategy for how EPS-led party can convince voters to look beyond opposition to BJP's policies.
EPS has been accused of links with a 2017 heist-murder at Jayalalithaa's estate. Madras HC has now slapped a fine on the main suspect's brother for his statements linking EPS to the case.
As EPS embarks on his first solo general election campaign, AIADMK workers draw parallels between him & Jayalalithaa, from selecting candidates to hitting it out at both DMK & BJP.
Tuesday's announcement comes 3 months after AIADMK decided to break all ties with BJP, with which it had forged an alliance in 2019. The 2 parties have been at loggerheads since February.
AIADMK rival faction leader O Panneerselvam said ‘BJP is capable of ruling a third time’ at Centre. Decision on possible alliance after ‘BJP decides on its stand’.
AIADMK is finally in grip of Jayalalithaa protégé EPS after a bitter factional battle. But while he is coming into his own, threats linger — from ally BJP to rival O. Panneerselvam.
Meeting came at a time when EPS and BJP state chief K. Annamalai were seen to be at loggerheads amid growing fissures in alliance. Now, EPS says 'there is no fight' between them.
While BJP top leadership is in favour of alliance, it's letting state chief K Annamalai needle ally, say leaders. AIADMK says it's focussing on relationship with BJP high command.
