Tamil Nadu Politics: Stalin Challenges BJP, Dhinakaran Asserts AMMK's Influence

M.K. Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and leader of the DMK party, said that the BJP cannot win in Tamil Nadu, even if they try their hardest.

He was responding to Amit Shah, a leader of the BJP, who said that Tamil Nadu is the BJP's next target after winning in Bihar.

Stalin said that Tamil Nadu will always resist the BJP and their ideas.

He also talked about how important it is for the DMK and other secular parties to protect Tamil Nadu and the rest of India from what he calls fascist forces.

Udhayanidhi Stalin, the Deputy Chief Minister, also spoke and said that the BJP is like an elephant that the DMK can control.

He also criticized other political groups, like the AIADMK and actor Vijay's party, saying they are not strong or organized enough to be a real threat.

Meanwhile, T.T.V. Dhinakaran, leader of the AMMK, claimed that his party is crucial for forming any government in Tamil Nadu.

He said that no alliance can form a government without the AMMK's support and that the final decision on alliances will be announced by late February 2026.

Dhinakaran also emphasized the importance of uniting under the legacy of Jayalalithaa for the upcoming elections.
