PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Friday, March 22, 2024, said the party’s alliance experience in the past, with the two Dravidian majors in T.N., had been disappointing.
The PMK has, for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, joined the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance. The party was part of the AIADMK-BJP alliance for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and the 2021 Assembly polls. The AIADMK, which snapped ties with the BJP, had tried to rope in the PMK as an alliance partner this time around too, but failed.
“Everyone knows how weak the AIADMK was during the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and in the by-poll for the 22 assembly constituencies in 2019. The AIADMK formed an alliance with the PMK for the by-polls and our party gave up all the seats in favour of the AIADMK. The AIADMK won 9 seats with our support and the AIADMK government survived because of it,” Mr. Anbumani claimed in a letter to his cadres.
