Thu May 29 10:56:53 UTC 2025: **Summary:**

Despite public overtures from AIADMK and BJP leaders hinting at a possible alliance between “like-minded” parties against the DMK, including a suggestion that actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) should join the NDA, the TVK remains non-committal. While AIADMK and BJP figures see Vijay’s party as sharing their anti-DMK sentiment, TVK sources reiterate Vijay’s stance that both the DMK and BJP are ideological enemies. The TVK is open to alliances with parties other than DMK and BJP.

**Vijay’s TVK Remains Aloof Amidst Alliance Speculation in Tamil Nadu**

**Chennai, May 29, 2025:** Despite veiled invitations from key leaders within the AIADMK and BJP, actor-politician Vijay’s newly formed Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is holding its cards close to its chest regarding potential alliances for the upcoming 2026 elections.

Recent statements from AIADMK’s Kadambur C. Raju and BJP State president Nainar Nagenthran hinted at a possible coalition of parties united in their opposition to the ruling DMK, with some explicitly suggesting the TVK should consider joining the NDA.

“Mr. Vijay also shares the AIADMK’s view that the DMK is anti-people and needs to be removed from power,” Raju said recently, echoing a sentiment shared by the BJP.

However, sources within the TVK have downplayed the likelihood of such an alliance. Referring to Vijay’s past statements, they maintain that both the DMK and BJP are considered ideological adversaries.

TVK propaganda secretary A. Rajmohan went a step further, stating, “To defeat the DMK, our party would align only with the people and certainly not with a party that has joined hands with a fascist force,” seemingly referencing the AIADMK-BJP coalition.

While ruling out any possibility of allying with the DMK or BJP, the TVK has left the door open to potential partnerships with other parties, setting the stage for intense negotiations as the 2026 elections draw closer. The political landscape in Tamil Nadu remains fluid, with the TVK’s ultimate decision likely to significantly impact the outcome.
