The All India Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) on Monday said that the party has decided to “break all ties with the BJP-led NDA alliance” in Tamil Nadu ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The move, the party said, is a protest against BJP’s attacks and defamatory statements on AIADMK and their leaders for over a year.
“The state leadership of the BJP has been continuously making unnecessary remarks on our former leaders, our general secretary EPS and our cadres for the past one year. In today’s meeting, this resolution was passed unanimously,” said the party.
“It has been unanimously decided that AIADMK will withdraw from the National Democratic Alliance from today, respecting the opinion and wishes of 2 crore volunteers,” AIADMK’s official page on X (formerly Twitter) stated.
