Tamil Nadu Elections 2026: Chidambaram Targets AIADMK-BJP Alliance, EPS’s Delhi Visits Trigger Row

A political row has erupted in Tamil Nadu after senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram likened the AIADMK-BJP alliance to a “puppet show,” suggesting real control lies with the BJP. His remarks come as AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami holds multiple meetings in Delhi with Union Home Minister Amit Shah to finalise seat-sharing ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. The DMK and Congress have sharpened their attack, framing the issue as a battle between Tamil Nadu’s autonomy and central influence, turning EPS’s Delhi visits into a key political flashpoint.
