AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) met in private with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Mar 25 for 15 minutes to discuss conditions of a potential revival of the AIADMK-BJP alliance in Tamil Nadu, sources said.

Even before the meeting, speculations were rife about the reason for the meeting. Sources said EPS presented specific conditions for re-establishing the partnership, emphasising that the AIADMK should lead the alliance in Tamil Nadu in the upcoming state assembly elections in 2026.

The AIADMK leader also reportedly expressed a desire to reduce the role of Tamil Nadu BJP President K Annamalai in the state. Additionally, EPS indicated he is not concerned about figures like TTV Dhinakaran, VK Sasikala, or O Panneerselvam in the context of the alliance, sources revealed.
