AIADMK-BJP Alliance: A Relationship of Breakups and Comebacks, Will 2026 Bring Electoral Success in Tamil Nadu?

Chennai: With the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections approaching in the coming months, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has once again joined hands with the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) in a renewed attempt to challenge the ruling DMK-Congress alliance led by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin. The BJP is now working to build a broader NDA front in the southern state by bringing several smaller regional parties under its umbrella. The party hopes that a strong coalition, supported by AIADMK’s traditional vote base, will help it make significant gains and possibly dethrone the DMK from power. However, the BJP-AIADMK partnership is far from a smooth or stable one. Over the last three decades, their alliance has been marked by repeated breakups, mistrust, political calculations,...
