It may be recalled that AIADMK-led by Edappadi Palaniswami severed ties with the National Democratic Alliance. This week, several AIADMK leaders also joined the BJP in the presence of BJP national leaders and state BJP chief Annamalai in New Delhi.
Earlier, O Panneerselvam and his supporters stated that they maintain continuous communication with the BJP and emphasized that their decision regarding an alliance would depend on actions taken by the saffron party. Following a meeting with his supporters, including R Vaithilingam, Manoj Pandian, and political advisor Panrutti S Ramachandran in Chennai in September last year, OPS addressed reporters, asserting that the NDA alliance led by the BJP has the potential to secure power at the Centre for the third consecutive term.
