AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Sunday said that rival political parties and a section of the media were spreading misinformation about the AIADMK on its alliance for the Lok Sabha election, and reiterated that his party does not have any truck with the BJP.
Addressing a meeting, where “10,000 people from various parties joined the AIADMK”, in Krishnagiri district, he said that some people claimed that the AIADMK had “indirect ties” with the BJP despite the party dismissing such claims several times.
He further said that in September 2023, the AIADMK had officially exited the National Democratic Alliance. “Today, again, we are announcing that the AIADMK is not in an alliance with the BJP, and the media should not ask questions in this regard again. The AIADMK will form an alliance at the right time for the Lok Sabha poll. The seat-sharing talks in the DMK alliance have also not been finalised, and in ten days, we will know how many will be in it. The DMK believes in alliances, but the AIADMK believes in people. In television debates, misinformation is being spread, and the people participating in debates only criticise the AIADMK,” he added.
