Tamil Nadu BJP State President Nainar Nagenthran asserted that the NDA alliance will strengthen post-Pongal. He accused Chief Minister M.K. Stalin of planning to make his son Udhayanidhi Stalin the next Chief Minister and using techniques to maintain the alliance. Nagenthran criticized the DMK government's administration, citing alleged property grabs, a high number of murders and lockup deaths, and claimed the 'anti-Hindu' DMK regime would end due to issues like the Thirupparankundram incident.
