In Tamil Nadu's political landscape, BJP President Nainar Nagenthran is tackling alliance complexities ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. Focus has turned to seat allocations involving allies led by TTV Dhinakaran and ex-Chief Minister O Panneerselvam.

Nagenthran, addressing media questions, emphasized that the BJP's Parliamentary Board, alongside AIADMK leadership, will deliberate on seat-sharing specifics. These discussions highlight the fresh alliance between BJP and AIADMK, with no definitive decisions as of yet.
