AIADMK considers rejoining BJP alliance for 2026 elections after meeting with Amit Shah.

The AIADMK, a major opposition party in Tamil Nadu, is considering rejoining an alliance with the BJP ahead of the 2026 state assembly elections. AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, discussing issues like the two-language policy and the ED case involving the state liquor corporation. While Palaniswami dismissed rumors of an immediate alliance, the meeting has fueled speculation about a potential partnership to challenge the ruling DMK. The AIADMK has set conditions for any alliance, including a reduced role for BJP's state leader.
