Chennai, Mar 10 (BPNS)
The BJP national president J.P. Nadda said that only the BJP can give good governance in Tamil Nadu and added that the party will flourish in the state. He was speaking at a public function at Krishnagiri in Tamil Nadu after inaugurating the new party office on Friday. After that he inaugurated 9 other party district committee offices virtually.
The BJP national president said that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, M.K. Stalin has anointed his son ,Udayanidhi Stalin as a minister and added that what will happen in the future is to be seen.
Comparing Tamil Nadu with states like Punjab, Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, Telengana, Maharashtra, he said that succession politics was becoming the order of the day in Tamil Nadu also.
It is to be noted that BJP and AIADMK who are alliances in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Tamil Nadu are not in good terms after several BJP leaders in the state quit the party and joined AIADMK. There were war of words between BJP Tamil Nadu state president, K. Annamalai and the AIADMK leadership including former Minister and party organizing secretary, D. Jayakumar.
BJP Tamil Nadu IT cell state president CTR Nirmal Kumar and state IT cell secretary Dilip Kannan and several other district wise leaders had resigned from the party and joined the AIADMK. The leaders after quitting the party have joined the AIADMK and had openly blamed, state president ,K. Annamalai’s style of functioning for their resignation from the BJP.
The BJP state president, K. Annamalai had come out strongly against the AIADMK and had even lashed out against the AIADMK interim general secretary and former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami( EPS).
The BJP national leadership is expecting a few seats from Tamil Nadu in the 2024 loksabha elections and it can get these seats only through piggy riding with AIADMK. BJP has got a solid partner in Tamil Nadu with AIADMK aligning with it in the last assembly elections and the national leadership does not want to break the alliance it has with the a powerful Dravidian party.
The national leadership of the BJP is also unhappy at K. Annamalai acting like this against the AIADMK as in 2024 Lok sabha elections, BJP wants to improve its position in the state and after Annamalai lashing out against the state AIADMK leadership, the national leadership of the BJP is afraid of the political alliance going awry which the saffron party cannot afford to.
Sources in the BJP told BPNS that JP Nadda will most likely have a meeting with AIADMK interim general secretary and former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Edapapdi K. Palaniswami(EPS) to iron out the differences between the two parties and to gain politically from Tamil Nadu.
