The BJP's Tamil Nadu chief L Murugan on Monday said that his party's alliance with the AIADMK continues and that ties are strong as earlier, a day after the ruling party told its saffron ally that it was the big brother in the state. TN BJP chief Murugan said he had requested the chief minister to implement the Centre's New Education Policy and that he had submitted his party's signature campaign containing 50 lakh signatures on the issue.
Murugan skipped a direct question on the AIADMK declining to share power with allies if it came to power, but said ''the BJP's alliance with AIADMK continued and it remained strong.'' ''You will know the answers for all the queries in two or three days,'' he shot back when asked to comment on AIADMK's stand on that the BJP cannot be accommodated in the government if the alliance won the 2021 Assembly polls. AIADMK on its campaign has made a clear statement that the saffron party cannot make a mark in the Dravidian heartland of Tamil Nadu and BJP cannot be accommodated in the government if it won the assembly elections, due next year.
The BJP has to endorse Chief Minister K Palaniswami's candidature for the CM's post for the polls, which is still waiting, the AIADMK indicated and wanted its partner to agree to its other terms like non-participation in government and if not rethink of its 2021 electoral options. AIADMK senior leader and state Fisheries Minister D Jayakumar said his party will go ahead with electoral ties only with those that accepted Palaniswami as the chief ministerial candidate for 2021 election.
