Tamil Nadu Elections: Dhinakaran Clears Air on Sasikala’s NDA Exclusion

In a decisive move shaping Tamil Nadu’s pre-election alliances, TTV Dhinakaran of AMMK has ruled out any NDA return for VK Sasikala. The Saturday statement from Chennai dispels persistent rumors.

Fresh off Delhi meetings—including Saturday’s with Amit Shah and week’s start with Piyush Goyal—Dhinakaran addressed the media amid intensifying poll preparations.

Talks reportedly spanned electoral tactics: seats, strongholds, and AMMK’s symbol. Yet Dhinakaran stressed unity over specifics: ‘No seat-sharing with Shah; just about fighting together.’

Sasikala’s exclusion is now crystal clear, barring her from NDA’s immediate plans and refocusing efforts.

Targeting DMK, he noted their unease with opposition’s capital sojourns. Central allocations of Rs 12 lakh crore in 12 years were cited, with assurances of smooth disbursals.

Anbumani Ramadoss’s pending Shah meet highlights ongoing consultations. Goyal’s postponed Chennai visit, now Sunday-bound, keeps momentum alive.

These steps precede official seat deals, positioning NDA for a cohesive challenge in Tamil Nadu’s fiercely contested polls.
