New Delhi: The All India Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) has officially ended its alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).On Monday, September 25, AIADMK passed a resolution at a meeting attended by MPs, MLAs, and district heads at the party headquarters in Chennai. The resolution was passed unanimously. Party workers received the news by bursting crackers, NDTV reported.The move by AIADMK comes after it accused the BJP of not being able to rein in its Tamil Nadu unit president K. Annamalai who has been making “controversial” remarks against AIADMK party leaders, including former chief minister J. Jayalalithaa and another state icon C.N. Annadurai. Annadurai was a former chief minister and considered the political mentor of M.G. Ramachandran, who founded the party.In a statement posted on X (formerly, Twitter), the party said, “It has been unanimously decided that AIADMK will withdraw from the National Democratic Alliance from today, respecting the opinion and wishes of 2 crore volunteers.”மாண்புமிகு கழகப் பொதுச்செயலாளர் “புரட்சித் தமிழர்” திரு. @EPSTamilNadu அவர்களின் தலைமையில் நடைபெற்ற தலைமைக் கழக செயலாளர்கள், மாவட்டக் கழக செயலாளர்கள், கழக நாடாளுமன்ற, சட்டமன்ற உறுப்பினர்கள் ஆலோசனைக் கூட்டத்தில், 2 கோடி தொண்டர்களின் எண்ணத்திற்கும், விருப்பத்திற்கும் மதிப்பளித்து…— AIADMK (@AIADMKOfficial) September 25, 2023“The state leadership of the BJP has been continuously making unnecessary remarks on our former leaders, our general secretary EPS [E. Palaniswami] and our cadres for the past one year. In today’s meeting, this resolution was passed unanimously,” said the party in another statement, according to the Indian Express.Last week, AIADMK leaders had met with the BJP leaders in Delhi in an effort to salvage the situation. The AIADMK had insisted that Annamalai be replaced with a “non-controversial” leader. “Annamalai is unfit to be BJP’s state president. He speaks ill of late leaders only to project himself,” AIADMK’s Jayakumar had said.However, the BJP has made it clear that it is not willing to replace Annamalai, considering that he has revived the party in the southern state.
