Madurai: From Madurai, the city of 'parivartan', Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday asserted that the NDA would form governments in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal in the coming year.
Addressing party office bearers, Shah hailed Madurai as a city of 'Parivartan' and said his party's Karyakarta Sammelan (workers meet) would lead to change as well, of dislodging DMK from power. "In 2025, we formed the government in Delhi, in 2026, the BJP-NDA will form the government in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu..." Amit Shah said.
In the 2026 Assembly election, BJP-AIADMK will form NDA government in Tamil Nadu and people will defeat DMK in 2026 polls and the DMK is 100 per cent failure government, Shah said. Earlier during his April visit to Tamil Nadu, Shah had announced the revival of ties with the AIADMK.
In his address, BJP state president Nainar Nagendran hit out at the DMK regime over the law and order scenario and questioned the police over targeted killings of elderly people in villages in the western Kongu region.
He appealed to cadres to work with determination and described the alliance with AIADMK as a "suitable alliance."
Nagendran said his resolve will be to take the maximum number of MLAs to the Assembly, like a "yatra".
He hailed Amit Shah as "India's Iron man, another Sardar Vallabhai Patel."
BJP leader K Annamalai said the only goal is unseating DMK from power in the state and urged cadres to go ahead with this "sankalpa."
