Overview

  • Edappadi K. Palaniswami declared that AIADMK will be the single largest party and he will become chief minister without any coalition government in Tamil Nadu.
  • Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP leaders, including K. Annamalai, have maintained that the NDA will form a coalition government with BJP participation if it wins the 2026 assembly polls.
  • Senior BJP figures have pointed to endorsements from other NDA constituents such as PMK, DMDK and Puthiya Tamizhagam to bolster the coalition model in contrast to AIADMK’s solo-rule stance.
  • Both AIADMK and BJP spokesmen have publicly described their April revival of the alliance as stable and warned that internal differences will not undermine their joint campaign against the DMK.
  • Invitations extended to regional parties like TVK and ongoing outreach efforts underscore how the power-sharing dispute is shaping the NDA’s strategy to consolidate anti-DMK support.
