The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam will not form an alliance with any national party for the Lok Sabha elections, the party’s General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami said on Sunday.
The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam had severed ties with the BJP in September, days after it criticised the Hindutva party’s state unit president K Annamalai for his comments about former Chief Minister CN Annadurai.
On Sunday, Palaniswami said that AIADMK will be part of a “special alliance”, details of which will be shared soon.
The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the BJP had formed an alliance in the run-up to the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, but faced a rout. In the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls, while the AIADMK won just 66 of the state’s 234 seats, the BJP won four.
