AIADMK chief rules out coalition government post polls

The Rajya Sabha MP was responding to reporters' queries about a coalition government should the opposition bloc win the polls.

He pointed to Palaniswami ruling out the possibility of a coalition government in the state if the alliance led by his party, in which the BJP is the key constituent, wins the 2026 Assembly election.

Thambidruai said the state has never witnessed a coalition government, whether it was under Congress veterans late C Rajagopalachari and K Kamaraj or Dravidian stalwarts M G Ramachandran and M Karunanidhi.
