Spoke about Tamil Nadu, no alliance talks: Edappadi Palaniswami on Amit Shah meet

Key Highlights

• He added that Shah had already made it clear that he would not interfere in the AIADMK’s internal affairs. advertisement The AIADMK leader said certain parties were in talks with his party and that details would be disclosed once they formally joined, adding that secrecy would be maintained until then. Reiterating his stand on party affairs, Palaniswami said there was no question of VK Sasikala returning to the AIADMK and ruled out any possibility of O Panneerselvam rejoining the party. He said the AIADMK remained strong and pointed out that its alliance had won 72 constituencies in the 2021 Assembly elections. Responding to Chief Minister MK Stalin’s remarks on “outsiders” ruling Tamil Nadu, Palaniswami said the AIADMK was leading its alliance. He said the DMK was allied with the Congress and referred to the Emergency, MISA, and the anti-Hindi agitations.
• He also recalled that the DMK had allied with the BJP in 1999, adding that political alliances changed with circumstances and that the people were bigger than any party or leader. Palaniswami alleged that law and order in Tamil Nadu had deteriorated and said the state’s debt stood at Rs 5.5 lakh crore.
• He also said documents related to an alleged scam had been submitted to the Governor, adding that the Enforcement Directorate had flagged the issue and sought the registration of an FIR, which he said happened after court intervention.- EndsPublished By: Deepthi Published On: Jan 8, 2026Tune InMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Tamil NaduWatch Live TV.
