“It has been the avowed position of the AIADMK right from Amma’s (AIADMK’s late supremo Jayalalithaa) time that ‘Natrapadhum Namadhe’ (All 40 constituencies are ours),” he said. Sidestepping the arithmetic of 25 seats declared by Mr. Shah, Mr. Thambi Durai said, Edappadi K. Palaniswami will lead the alliance and the party will win all 40 seats, which include Puducherry.
Mr. Shah on Sunday, June 11, 2023, had expressed confidence that the BJP-led NDA would return to power in 2024 by winning more than 300 seats, and said that by winning more than 25 seats in Tamil Nadu with the blessings of the people here, the NDA could have more Ministers from the State. He said the people of T.N. must vote for NDA candidates as an expression of gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for installing theSengol, a legacy of the Chola era, in the new Parliament.
