Watch: The DMK-BJP bonhomie | Focus Tamil Nadu

The Hindu  

Two factors have contributed to this talk about the DMK and the BJP getting closer. First, the decision of Chief Minister MK Stalin to attend the At Home reception or tea party hosted by Governor RN Ravi on Independence Day. The Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K Selvaperunthagai, among other things, accused the Governor of consistently trying to obstruct the functioning of the democratically elected Government in the State. However, on Independence Day, Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu, regarded as the spokesperson of the State Cabinet, surprised the DMK’s allies by announcing that Stalin will attend the Governor’s tea party. His statement about the Chief Minister holding the post of Governor in high regard rattled many of those rooted in the DMK ideology because the party’s founder CN Annadurai had famously equated the gubernatorial post with that of a goat’s beard questioning their very necessity.
