The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) have intensified discussions on a possible National Democratic Alliance (NDA) understanding ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The talks gained momentum after BJP's Tamil Nadu election in-charge and Union Minister Piyush Goyal met AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami in Chennai on Tuesday. The meeting, which focused on election preparedness, organisational coordination, and the NDA alliance strategy, is seen as a crucial step towards a possible pre-poll understanding between the two parties. Seat-sharing arrangements between the BJP and AIADMK are expected to be a key part of the ongoing deliberations. Earlier in the day, a BJP Tamil Nadu Core Committee meeting was held at the party's state headquarters in Chennai. The meeting, chaired by Piyush Goyal, discussed election strategy, organisational preparedness, and outreach programmes across the state. Piyush Goyal's visit to Chennai marked the formal start of the BJP's intensified poll preparations in Tamil Nadu. He was received at the airport by senior BJP leaders, including Union Minister of State L Murugan. Tamilisai Soundararajan, a senior BJP leader, expressed confidence in the new leadership arrangement and the party's ability to defeat the ruling DMK in the upcoming elections. She accused the DMK government of being "anti-people" and promoting "anti-Hindu" sentiments. The EPS-Goyal meeting is being closely watched as both the NDA and the DMK-led front accelerate preparations for a high-stakes electoral battle in Tamil Nadu.
