The BJP on Wednesday said it may seek the support of superstar Rajinikanth for the 2021 assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, a day after the star said he has abandoned his plan to make a political foray, BJP national general secretary CT Ravi on Wednesday said

 Asserting that its alliance with the AIADMK was strong, BJP national general said the NDA was led by his party and 'Prime Minister Narendra Modi' in the state as well, apparently indicating that it was not steered by the ruling party, the senior partner. In Tamil Nadu, AIADMK was the largest partner in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and naturally, the Chief Minister will be from that party, Ravi, BJP's state in-charge, told reporters here, answering a volley of questions on ties between the two parties.

A formal decision would be made on the Chief Ministerial candidate of the NDA once the Election Commission issues the notification for the assembly elections, expected in April- May, he said, adding the strategy was part of the ongoing exercise to strengthen the BJP in the state. The AIADMK has already announced incumbent K Palaniswami as its chief ministerial candidate in the election.
