Edappadi K. Palaniswami will merge AIADMK with BJP after the election, says Udhayanidhi Stalin

Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Wednesday said that AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami would merge his party with the BJP after the Assembly election in the State.

Inaugurating the DMK office built at Andimadam near here, he said that the BJP had forged an alliance with the AIADMK by applying pressure on former Ministers. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had no intention of making Mr. Palaniswami as Chief Minister of the State. He would be undermined after the election. On the other hand, the DMK was ruling the State without minding the coercion tactics of the BJP by misusing the Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate and others. The DMK would never bow to the pressure of central agencies.
