AIADMK chief fuels speculations of BJP alliance with 'wait six months' remark
India TodayAIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami stirred speculation over the party’s future political alliances, urging people to “wait for six months” when asked about a potential tie-up with the BJP. “It is our sole responsibility to defeat the anti-people DMK, and it will happen in 2026.” He also underscored the party’s strategy, stating, “Our aim is to defeat DMK without splitting votes.” When pressed about a possible alliance with the BJP, he dismissed the question as premature. After six months, you’ll know who is there and who is here,” he cryptically remarked, leaving the door open for future political manoeuvring. While the party has so far maintained that it will contest elections independently, Palaniswami’s remarks suggest that the political landscape could shift in the coming months.
