The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Tamil Nadu received a significant boost as the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) officially joined the alliance, led by General Secretary TTV Dhinakaran. This move was marked by a high-profile meeting and joint press interaction with Union Minister Piyush Goyal, who oversees BJP’s election coordination in the State.
Following the announcement, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami extended a warm welcome to Dhinakaran, emphasizing unity within the expanded NDA camp ahead of the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Piyush Goyal, addressing the media, expressed the NDA’s determination to defeat the “corrupt and anti-people” DMK government, highlighting the alliance’s commitment to providing a strong alternative.
TTV Dhinakaran, speaking at the press conference, expressed his happiness in rejoining the NDA to strengthen the alliance in Tamil Nadu. Emphasizing the goal of removing the DMK government, Dhinakaran highlighted unity within the NDA under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The NDA’s move to include AMMK is seen as an effort to consolidate anti-DMK votes and present a more cohesive Opposition front, gearing up for the electoral battle in Tamil Nadu.
