Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi Karuppa Palaniswami on Friday said that the alliance between the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is only aimed at winning the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections. Speaking at the India Today Conclave South, Palaniswami said that his party was ideologically different than the BJP.

On being asked if AIADMK was helping the BJP gain a foothold in Tamil Nadu, CM Palaniswami said it is a wrong assumption that the party is helping BJP. BJP had a coalition with DMK in 1991. The BJP has been in Tamil Nadu ever since it won at the Centre. It is not right to say that AIADMK is giving it any special importance, Palaniswami said.

Adding that the AIADMK and the BJP have two different ideologies, the CM said each party has an ideology. The AIADMK will run its government based on its own ideology. The coalitions are formed during the elections with an eye on victory, he said.

Palaniswami added that any state government needs to have a good rapport with the Centre to fulfill the promises made to the people.

The Tamil Nadu Assembly election 2021 will be held in a single phase on April 6. The counting of votes will take place on May 2. All the 38 districts consisting of 234 assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu will go to polls in single phase on April 6.
