'Was most expected': DMK takes 'fell at BJP's feet' dig at Palaniswami as AIADMK reunites with NDA

The DMK has criticized the AIADMK's reunion with the BJP, claiming it was driven by fear and pressure on Edappadi K Palaniswami. According to DMK, Palaniswami ultimately yielded to the BJP's influence. DMK also believes actor Vijay's new party will split opposition votes, benefiting them in the upcoming elections. Amit Shah announced the AIADMK's return to the NDA without preconditions.
