TTV Dhinakaran's AMMK Rejoins NDA Ahead of 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections

Ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, TTV Dhinakaran's Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) has formally rejoined the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), months after exiting over internal disputes. This move, welcomed by AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami and BJP's Piyush Goyal, aims to consolidate opposition against the ruling DMK. Dhinakaran emphasized unity and compromise to restore 'Amma's rule' and good governance. The NDA is preparing for a major campaign rally with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 23, seeking to strengthen its electoral prospects in the state.
