AIDMK and BJP have been at loggerheads for the past few months. The reason for this is Annamalai. He had made a comment that implied that former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa had gone to jail in a wealth hoarding case. The AIADMK was outraged that Annamalai had no right to talk about Jayalalithaa. This raised the question whether the alliance between AIADMK and BJP would last.
It was in this situation that EdappadiPalaniswami (EPS) who went to Delhi got an opportunity to sit next to the Prime Minister. At this stage, the animosity between AIADMK & BJP was somewhat extinguished.
Did Annamalaistop with that? He severely criticized Annadurai. Speaking then, he had criticized Annadurai, who had criticized Goddess Parvati Devi in an event held in Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple complex in 1956, and had apologized to MuthuramalingaThevar.
In this situation Jayakumar, C.V Shanmugam and SellurRaju had condemned Annamalai. They insisted that Annamalai should apologize for speaking wrongly and untruthfully about Anna.
Responding to this, Annamalai said, “what I have said about Anna is true. He said that he will not back down from it.
Jayakumar announced last Wednesday that the alliance with the BJP has broken. According to him, Annamalai continues to abuse Jayalalithaa, Anna etc. He said that there is no alliance between AIADMK and BJP now.
He also mentioned that this is the decision of the party.
This policy decision lasted only a few hours. Yes, the AIADMK took a sudden turn from its stand.
SellurRaju suddenly announced that there is no problem in the AIADMK-BJP alliance. In this situation, Annamalai also expressed the same opinion.
Annamalai further said that he will not apologize for the comment I made about Anna. He says that he will not say, “ let us make EdappadiPalaniswami the chief minister”.
The BJP is one of the parties in the AIADMK-led coalition in Tamil Nadu but it tries to supress and control the AIADMK itself. What could be worse than the AIADMK keeping a party that does not accept the leadership of EdappadiPalaniswami in its alliance?
What is the reason for AIADMK's sudden change in its position? That mysterious knot must be untied. AIADMK could not shut Annamalai's mouth. Can't close.
The people of Tamil Nadu look at the AIADMK & BJP alliance as a joke. EdappadiPalaniswami should explain the alliance dharma of these parties.
Will he open his mouth? Can he open it?
