Tamil Nadu's Political Landscape: Udhayanidhi Stalin's Clarion Call Against AIADMK-BJP Ties

Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin has accused the AIADMK of facilitating the BJP's entry into Tamil Nadu politics. He termed the upcoming 2026 Assembly election as a crucial 'battle to protect our land, pride, and mother tongue.'

Addressing DMK booth agents, Stalin criticized AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami for allegedly forming a covert alliance with the BJP, labeling it a 'betrayal' that requires eradication. He assured the party that the BJP would not influence Tamil culture.

Stalin claimed discrimination against Tamil Nadu in Central fund allocations, noting a lack of educational funding while praising his father's leadership style and the DMK-led INDIA bloc's ideological cohesion. He lauded CM M.K. Stalin's governance, citing key economic achievements and achievements from the Women's Rights Scheme.
