The Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) will contest the Lok Sabha elections in an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Disclosing this to reporters in Tiruchi on Monday, AMMK general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran said his party had extended “unconditional support” to the BJP. There was no issue with regard to seat sharing as the BJP already knew the AMMK’s requirement, Mr. Dhinakaran said and added that he had been in touch with the State and national-level office bearers of the BJP over the past two or three months.
The main issue in the Lok Sabha election is who should become the Prime Minister. The AMMK would work like a “squirrel” to help the BJP alliance bag more seats in Tamil Nadu.
