Overview

  • Home Minister Amit Shah said the NDA will form Tamil Nadu's next government with the BJP as partner, stopping short of naming an AIADMK chief ministerial candidate.
  • AIADMK spokesperson Vaigaichelvan rejected any power-sharing arrangement, insisting voters prefer a single-party administration and warning against confusion over coalition claims.
  • Shah’s comments revitalize tensions in the BJP-AIADMK alliance following the Hindu Munnani Murugan conference row, which featured a video mocking Dravidian icons in AIADMK presence.
  • Chief Minister MK Stalin seized on the discord to denounce the BJP’s “fake devotion” strategy, saying his secular welfare initiatives, including consecrating 3,000 temples and funding churches and mosques, counter divisive politics.
  • PMK founder S. Ramadoss’s courtesy visit to Tamil Nadu Congress chief K. Selvaperunthagai has sparked speculation of possible realignment ahead of the 2026 assembly elections.
