Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 12 (ANI): Newly-appointed Tamil Nadu BJP President Nainar Nagendran on Saturday expressed confidence that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), comprising the BJP and AIADMK, will form the government in the 2026 Assembly elections and said the DMK will be “thrown out”.
“Today is a full moon day. On this day, I got this position. I feel proud, and surely, good changes will come in the upcoming elections,” Nagendran said.
Commenting on the party’s alliance strategy, he said, “Union Home Minister Amit Shah ji announced the AIADMK alliance. Even AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami also announced that we are with NDA. It’s a strong alliance and a natural alliance. We will move more strongly in the field.”
“Surely, BJP will be a big fight for DMK, and DMK will be thrown out. The NDA alliance will form the government in 2026 in Tamil Nadu,” he added.
Nagendran’s appointment as State President was backed unanimously by senior BJP leaders, including outgoing president K. Annamalai. The BJP, alongside its allies in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), has intensified its political activities in Tamil Nadu ahead of the 2026 polls.
Earlier, following Nainar Nagendran’s appointment as Tamil Nadu BJP President, party leaders and alliance members have expressed strong confidence about the 2026 Assembly elections, asserting that the BJP-AIADMK alliance is gaining ground across the state.
Tamil Nadu BJP Vice President Narayanan Thirupathy on Saturday said the party is moving with “big confidence” toward the elections under the leadership of Nainar Nagendran and outgoing president K. Annamalai.
“Nainar Nagendran is a versatile man. He is rich in political culture. We are very happy. The cadres are very happy. All are in a jubilant mood. And this is the road to the 2026 elections,” Thirupathy said in Chennai.
He added, “Under his presidency, we hope the BJP will achieve its heights. We are going to March 2026 with very big confidence, with Annamalai on one side and Nainar Nagendran leading us. The DMK has failed miserably in its governance. We will see to it that the DMK is sent home in 2026.”
Backing the BJP-AIADMK alliance, Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazhagam (AMMK) General Secretary TTV Dhinakaran said the alliance for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections was forged to strengthen Prime Minister Narendra Modi and remove what he called an “anti-people” DMK government.
“We have joined for the parliamentary election in order to strengthen PM Narendra Modi. Our only agenda is to remove MK Stalin’s anti-people government from Tamil Nadu,” Dhinakaran said in Chennai. (ANI)
