The political rivalry between the AIADMK and BJP has intensified, marked by a series of personal attacks and allegations. BJP State president K. Annamalai referred to AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami using derogatory terms, prompting strong retaliatory comments from AIADMK leaders who accused Annamalai of projecting insecurity and mismanagement. Palaniswami also criticized the DMK government for its handling of a commemorative coin release event, asserting that it was a state initiative despite claims of it being a central government event. He alleged that both the BJP and DMK were maintaining discreet ties while publicly feigning rivalry, questioning their integrity amidst ongoing corruption allegations. Annamalai, in response, dismissed the possibility of an electoral alliance with the DMK, asserting that both Dravidian parties should be rejected by the electorate. This ongoing discord reflects deeper political dynamics in Tamil Nadu as the parties prepare for the upcoming elections.
