The AIADMK’s general council, which met on Tuesday, December 26, 2023 after a gap of one and a half years, did not send out any big message on the party’s alliance strategy for the Lok Sabha election.
It only reiterated what the party’s general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami and others have been saying for the last three months - no truck with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) anymore. In fact, a month after snapping its ties with the national party and quitting the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in September, Mr. Palaniswami told journalists at the party’s Omalur office in Salem district that his party would not have any alliance with the BJP for the next Assembly elections too - due in 2026.
