The AIADMK announced it will lead a state-level coalition, which means the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu fight, will be a three-cornered between coalitions led by the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) it is part of the Opposition's Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, or INDIA- the AIADMK, and the BJP.
Tensions in the four-year-old alliance were simmering for a few months, but flared up on September 11 when Annamalai, citing an anecdote from 1956, said that Annadurai apologised to Forward Bloc leader late U Muthuramalinga Thevar for allegedly insulting Hinduism. The AIADMK denied the claim as untrue.
On Monday evening, after a two-hour-long meeting of AIADMK's general secretary Edappadi Palaniswami (EPS) with his party's parliamentarians, legislators, district secretaries and top leadership in Chennai, the party decided to leave the NDA through a resolution passed unanimously.
Reading out from the resolution, AIADMK's deputy general secretary KP Munuswamy said, "To respect the sentiments of our two-crore cadre, from today the AIADMK is leaving the BJP and the NDA." "The AIADMK will lead an alliance to face the 2024 elections with other allies. This is a unanimous decision. Even one person did not oppose passing this resolution," he said.
"For the past one year, the BJP's state unit has been insulting Annadurai, E Palaniswami and late J Jayalalithaa, criticised their ideology and also belittled their mega conference held in Madurai in August after courts upheld EPS's elevation in the party and O Panneerselvam's ouster," Munuswamy added.
