Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 12 (ANI): Exuding confidence over the future of BJP-AIADMK alliance, Nainar Nagendran, who is set to become the Tamil Nadu BJP president on Saturday said that both parties will work “wholeheartedly” to defeat DMK in the upcoming 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
Nagendran called the recent tie-up between BJP and AIADMK a “natural alliance”.
When asked about his message for the BJP cadres, Nagendran said, “BJP is a very big party with 1000 and above MLAs and 300 and above MPs, and I am very proud to become a state president of this party.”
“I don’t have followers for me separately. These are the cadres of BJP. I am sure all will unite and work wholeheartedly,” he added.
He further highlighted the “positive” impact of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent visit to the Tamil Nadu.
“There is a huge change happening in Tamil Nadu,” Nagendran said.
Nainar Nagendran, who will replace K Annamalai as Tamil Nadu BJP chief further pointed out that there is no need to criticise the alliance between his party and the AIADMK.
“There is no need for criticism of our alliance. We have not criticized their (DMK) alliance,” Nagendran said.
Notably, AIADMK and BJP, and all the alliance parties decided to contest the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu together under the National Democratic Alliance.
This significant political development comes ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly election, which will be held in 2026. In the previous two elections–the Lok Sabha and the last assembly polls–the AIADMK has struggled to perform strongly.
The AIADMK entered into an alliance with the BJP after the passing of J Jayalalithaa in 2016. During the 2021 state elections, the AIADMK and the BJP were in alliance, which resulted in the BJP winning four seats. However, the AIADMK severed ties with the BJP in 2023. (ANI)
