By-elections are usually more crowded than general elections. In the same way, the discussion about who can be nominated as a candidate for the Erode East assembly constituency in Tamil Nadu has heated up among the political parties.
Accordingly, senior AIADMK leaders KP Munusamy, Thangamani, Jayakumar, Velumani and others from Edappadi Palaniswami’s side met with Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai at the head office of the conference and held discussions.
Because while Edappadi Palaniswami’s party is engaged in the effort to contest in the by-election, O. Panneerselvam had said this morning that they will stop the candidate from their side as well. Following this, the meeting of former AIADMK ministers with Annamalai is taking place when the question of which team the BJP, which is in alliance with the AIADMK, will support in this by-election is written in political circles.
However, although the information about this meeting was released yesterday, the OPS’s announcement created a stir. Meanwhile, rather than what is the position of the BJP, there are also reports that there are discussions within the BJP whether they can contest alone. At the same time, OPS had said, “If we do not contest, we will support BJP if it asks for support.”
While this is the case Will the AIADMK contest with the alliance or will the BJP contest alone? Political commentators Kalai and Ravindran Duraisamy have expressed their opinions to the new generation.
Accordingly, “OPS seeks BJP’s support with an open mind. OPS is approaching BJP with the commitment that the Modi government should come back to the centre. On the other hand, the EPS party is approaching the 2024 parliamentary elections from the standpoint that only then can they be told. However, I think that the Tamil Nadu BJP will send a report to Delhi about who is supporting them and not, and the party leadership will take a decision based on that. Likewise, the ruling party’s alliance, the Congress, has not lost its strength as it fielded its candidate.” that Rabindran Duraisamy He has given his prediction.
Speaking after him, Senior Journalist Ramesh“BJP may come forward to contest alone. It is BJP’s position that no party should side with AIADMK. If this is the case, the BJP may come to the conclusion that it can contest alone as both the AIADMK teams have said they will contest. Because there doesn’t seem to be a smooth relationship between the BJP and Edappadi Palaniswami’s side. Due to this, there is a possibility that the votes will be scattered and the chance of victory for DMK’s alliance will increase.He said.
After this he spoke Art of political critic“Edappadi Palaniswami’s team did not take BJP lightly in the by-election issue. That is why they decided the candidate arbitrarily. But O.P.S. Edappadi Palaniswami’s side has been asking for BJP’s support in the hope that they will lean towards them due to the harmony between the party and the BJP.
But the decision of the All India BJP leadership will be final rather than the state leadership in the matter of alliance. At the same time, the BJP will use the AIADMK’s split to contest separately and have both parties support them. But they will not support the BJP as they have decided to field their candidate from the Edappadi side.” has informed that.
Meanwhile, O. Panneer Selvam met BJP President Annamalai at the head office in D. Nagar. Vaithilingam and others were accompanied by OPS supporters during this meeting. Both held consultations regarding Erode East by-elections. Annamalai is said to have urged OPS to support him in the by-elections.
