Amit Shah Confirms AIADMK-BJP Alliance
On Friday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah confirmed the alliance at a press conference. He stated that the 2026 state elections would be contested under EPS’s leadership in Tamil Nadu, while PM Modi would continue to lead at the national level.
“The AIADMK and BJP, along with other allies, will fight the upcoming Assembly elections as part of the NDA,” Shah said. He added that while the formation of a coalition government would be decided post-elections, the decision to revive the alliance had been mutual and strategic, with no preconditions from either side.
