Tamil National Alliance

The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance could win as many as seven Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu - a state in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party has struggled in recent centre and state elections - exit polls said Saturday evening.

Sri Lanka's Tamil political parties are planning to field a candidate from the minority community in the presidential election to present a credible and acceptable political solution for them, a senior community leader said.

Congress DMK Seat Sharing Talks: With the Lok Sabha 2024 elections just months away, the first set of talks on seat sharing between the DMK and Congress in Tamil Nadu is set to commence today.

K Annamalai, the chief of BJP's Tamil Nadu unit, today asked party workers to strengthen its hold in the state to take on the ruling DMK after losing AIADMK, an important ally, from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), sources said.

Tamil Nadu's AIADMK has snapped ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance just months before the national election; the news was announced by the regional party's Deputy General Secretary, KP Munusamy.

Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK general secretary E Palaniswami said his party was part of the NDA because "it was in the interest of the nation," but in the state it will lead the alliance that has the BJP as a junior partner.

AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Wednesday accused the allies of DMK of being "servile" to Tamil Nadu's ruling party and said partners in the National Democratic Alliance had the freedom to speak facts.

On Friday, President Rajapaksa had sought cooperation from the minority Tamil community leaders to "rebuild the country" in his first interaction with them since assuming office over two years ago.

For the first time since taking office over two years ago, Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on Friday met leaders of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), the country's most prominent Tamil political grouping, officials said.

Union Home Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah on Thursday said that the National Democratic Alliance is going ahead on the path of development whereas United Progressive Alliance (UPA) is on the path of corruption.

DMK president M K Stalin on Sunday requested Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to stitch an alliance against the BJP at the national level, like the combine led by his party in Tamil Nadu and accused the Centre of unleashing a ''chemical'' and ''cultural'' attack against the state.

BJP Tamil Nadu president L Murugan has said that actor Vijaykanth's party DMDK leaving the AIADMK-led coalition for the state Assembly elections will not affect the winning chances of the alliance.

The DMK has allotted 25 seats to ally Congress for next month's elections in Tamil Nadu. The national party has also been allotted the Kanyakumari Lok Sabha seat that would go for bypolls following the death of Congress MP Vasanthakumar.

Communist Party of India (CPI) has been allotted six seats in the alliance with Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) for the 2021 assembly election in Tamil Nadu which is scheduled to be held on April 6.

In a tough message to the BJP, the ruling AIADMK in Tamil Naduhas said that it does not need a "national party asally if it isgoing to dictate", making it clear that it won't play second fiddle.
