tamil-naduUpdated: Dec 28, 2020, 22:26 ISTThe BJP’s Tamil Nadu chief L Murugan on Monday asserted that his party’s alliance with the AIADMK continues and that ties are “strong,” a day after the ruling party told its saffron ally that it was the big brother in the state. His remarks came shortly after his meeting with Chief Minister and ruling AIADMK co-coordinator K Palaniswami here today. Palaniswami, who later in the day spoke to reporters at Coimbatore, said the AIADMK-BJP alliance would continue. Meanwhile, Palaniswami said the alliance between the two parties, forged for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, will continue. Meanwhile, senior AIADMK leader and state Fisheries Minister D Jayakumar said his party will forge electoral ties only with those that accepted Palaniswami as the chief ministerial candidate for the 2021 election.
