DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, on April 16, said AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami could never categorically say that he would not support the BJP.
“Has he ever said that the BJP is an ideological enemy of the AIADMK? It is a fact that Mr Palaniswami can never oppose the BJP. A vote for the AIADMK is actually a vote for the BJP,” he said while campaigning for DMK candidate T.R. Baalu in Sriperumbudur Lok Sabha constituency.
Recalling Mr Palaniswami’s interview to a newspaper, Mr Stalin said the former Chief Minister was not ready to give a categorical answer to the question whether his party would support the BJP after the elections if it required support. “He did not say that the AIADMK would not support. ‘Wait and see’ was his answer,” Mr Stalin said.
