In a recent press conference with journalists in Madurai, RB Udhayakumar, former Tamil Nadu Revenue minister and AIADMK member confirmed the finalization of the AIADMK alliance. He explicitly stated that there would be no collaboration with the BJP in either parliamentary or assembly elections.
Responding to a question posed by reporters regarding Amit Shah’s statement about open alliance doors, Udhayakumar asserted that the AIADMK alliance has been firmly established. He emphasized that there will be no collaboration with the BJP in both parliamentary and assembly elections. And further stated despite Annamalai’s criticism referring to Annadurai and Jeyalalitha, Udhayakumar expressed the impossibility of aligning with them without compromising the party’s dignity.
Criticizing Annamalai’s lack of political experience and electoral success, he stressed that maturity comes through winning elections. Udhayakumar dismissed Annamalai’s influence, declaring that neither Annamalai nor his father could dismantle the AIADMK.
He stated, “Not only Annamalai, even if his dad comes cannot do anything to destroy Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. We brought the party to this state by giving our blood and life. Even if his dad comes, Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam cannot be destroyed”.
Also he issued a caution on behalf of the party’s two crore volunteers, asserting the invincibility of the AIADMK.
He added, “I’m not saying this as a warning to Annamalai, this is a warning on behalf of 2 crore Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam cadres. Just showing this bogeyman (poochandi), telling ayya and all, what is this? Where were you? Where did you come from? where did you go? What is your history? You talk as if you are the only one who was born to save this country. Everything has a limit brother. So talk carefully, talk calmly. If we start talking, you would throw your veshti and run. We are bound by the party and our general secretary and we are silent now. Even Annamalai cannot answer our party’s last cadre… Listen to his speech, couldn’t tolerate it, it is like a person selling lehyam (electuary medicine) Sir, this has happened, sir, this has passed, sir, eat this lehyam, sir, if your fever is not cured in the morning, come in the evening, sir, if it is not cured in the evening, then come in the morning, sir. Come, sir, come, sir, come. Buy immediately or the lehiyam will run out, if you do not use this opportunity, it will run out. If you don’t take advantage of this, the opportunity will slip away. In this case, if the lehiyam is not sold, it cannot be sold at all. This lehiyam is created for you sir, Hence sir you don’t need to trust anyone, I say, sir, if you die you don’t need to come and see me, if you are alive come and see me. He is speaking like this. He wakes up in the morning and speaks whatever comes to his mouth. You also telecast them and even ask him questions on that.”
In a concluding caution, Udhayakumar advised Prime Minister Modi to exercise caution regarding Annamalai’s actions. Additionally, his request for a post-election press meet with reporters subtly hinted still there is a possibility of alliance discussions. He added, “The decision taken by our General Secretary was the final decision taken. So, the leaders who know the strength of the Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the influence of the people are inviting and that is why the leaders in Delhi are inviting us. But this fool knows nothing, how can a person who knows nothing come and talk? All this is to be severely condemned, after all, he thinks he is the one who came to protect Tamil Nadu. First, after this election, I will give you another press meet and say. Nothing, zero, if you have hired fifty people on social media, can you become a leader? You have not even won a councillor election, and you want to become the prime minister? It is good for Modi to stay cautious of Annamalai.”

Against the backdrop of a broken BJP and AIADMK alliance, with the election date yet to be announced, the AIADMK is actively seeking a robust partner for the upcoming elections. In pursuit of this goal, they are striving to strengthen their dominance within the alliance in Tamil Nadu; however, success in these endeavors has not yet been realized.
