AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Wednesday, 25 March 2026, announced that seat-sharing within the AIADMK-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections has been finalised, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) allotted 27 constituencies.
Addressing reporters at the party headquarters, Palaniswami released the list of constituencies assigned to the BJP, confirming its participation across key regions of the state.
The BJP will contest from the following constituencies: Mylapore, Thali, Modakkurichi, Udhagamandalam, Avinashi, Tiruppur South, Coimbatore North, Gandharvakottai, Pudukkottai, Tirupattur, Madurai South, Sattur, Tiruchendur, Vasudevanallur, Radhapuram, Nagercoil, Vilavancode, Avadi, Tiruvannamalai, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Aranthangi, Manamadurai, Ramanathapuram, Kulachal, Padmanabhapuram, and Rasipuram (SC).
The allocation is being viewed as a significant expansion of the BJP’s electoral footprint in Tamil Nadu, with the party set to contest a carefully selected mix of urban constituencies, western belt segments, and southern districts. The spread of seats indicates a targeted strategy focusing on areas where the party has built organisational presence or sees potential for growth.
The constituencies include prominent urban centres like Mylapore and Avadi, industrial and western region segments such as Coimbatore North, Tiruppur South, and Avinashi, as well as southern strongholds including Nagercoil, Vilavancode, Radhapuram, Ramanathapuram, and Tiruchendur.
