AIADMK and BJP are together: EPS

Deccan Chronicle  

CHENNAI: AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami averring that the BJP continued to be its ally and that the parties would fight the 2024 Lok Sabha polls together not only put an end to the speculations on a possible political realignment in the State but came as an indication of his rise in popularity in the political firmament after emerging as the sole leader of the party. Speaking to the media after the Assembly session on Thursday, Palaniswami dispelled all doubts on the continuation of his party’s alliance with the BJP after BJP State President K Annamalai had opened declared that he would step down from the post if the party high command insisted on the alliance, which he said was coming in the way of developing the BJP in the State. Palaniswami’s statement also comes close on the heels of Union Home Minister Amit Shah confirming the continuation of the alliance though there were speculations that Annamalai during his visits to New Delhi had managed to convince the party top brass on the need to go it alone in the next elections and strengthening the party at the State level. The BJP national leadership's reluctance to snap ties with the AIADMK points to the importance the regional party has gained after Palaniswami became the general secretary and announced a membership drive to almost double the party’s strength at the grassroots level.
