00:00 In a significant setback to the BJP-led NDA as the 2024 Lok Sabha elections approach,
00:10 the AIADMK declared on Monday its decision to sever ties with the BJP alliance.
00:15 This move was confirmed through a unanimous resolution passed by the party.
00:20 AIADMK Deputy Coordinator KP Munaswamy revealed the decision, stating, "The state leadership
00:26 of the BJP has persistently made unwarranted comments about our former leaders, our General
00:31 Secretary EPS and our supporters over the past year."
00:35 The party, led by former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Idappadi K Palaniswamy, said it
00:40 would lead a separate front for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
00:44 AIADMK unanimously passed a resolution in the meeting.
00:48 AIADMK is breaking all ties with the BJP and the NDA alliance from today.
00:52 The state leadership of the BJP has been continuously making unnecessary remarks about our former
00:57 leaders, our General Secretary Idappadi K Palaniswamy and our cadres for the past one year, said
01:02 AIADMK's KP Munaswamy, as quoted by news agency ANI.
01:07 The resolution, without naming anyone, said that the BJP state leadership has been off-late
01:12 defaming Dravidian icon, the late C.N.
01:15 Anudurai and late Chief Minister J Jayalalitha, besides criticizing its policies.
01:22 It was obvious that the Dravidian party was miffed with BJP state president K Annamalai,
01:26 whose comments about Anudurai had created a rift between the two erstwhile allies.
01:31 Amid bursting of crackers at the party headquarters, Munaswamy said that the unanimous decision
01:36 honors the sentiments and aspirations of over 2 crore party workers.
01:40 BJP leader Annamalai's remarks sparked a controversy after he alleged that Anudurai
01:45 insulted Hinduism at an event in Madurai in 1956.
01:49 He said Anudurai had to hide in Madurai after his remark and could only travel after he
01:54 issued an apology.
01:55 Annamalai had refused to apologize for his controversial remarks about the former Tamil
01:59 Nadu Chief Minister and maintains that there was no problem between his party and the AIADMK.
02:05 He claimed that he had not spoken ill of Anudurai and had only recounted an incident from 1956.
02:11 AIADMK had partnered with the BJP during the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and 2021 assembly elections
02:17 as allies.
02:19 The AIADMK delegation that flew to the national capital on Friday met party president JP Nadda
02:24 and Union Minister Piyush Koyal in charge of Tamil Nadu and sought the leadership's
02:28 intervention in making Annamalai apologize.
02:30 If this was not possible, then they could consider posting a non-controversial leader
02:35 who would work in close coordination with the AIADMK during the Lok Sabha elections
02:40 next year, they reportedly said.
02:42 The BJP central leadership, though not in so many words, conveyed that it backed the
02:45 aggressive politics of Annamalai for the party's development, a senior party leader had said
02:50 on Saturday.
02:51 This is a list of names.
02:52 The list is made up of the names of the people who have spoken out against Annamalai and
02:53 the people who have not spoken out against him.
02:54 The list is made up of the names of the people who have spoken out against Annamalai and
02:55 the people who have not spoken out against him.
02:56 The list is made up of the names of the people who have spoken out against Annamalai and
02:57 the people who have not spoken out against him.
