00:07Paliniswamy, popularly known as EPS, as its chief ministerial face. This announcement comes as part

00:14of a key resolution passed during the party's executive council meeting, signalling a renewed

00:20and united front against the ruling DMK. The resolution also welcomed the inclusion of the

00:25BJP and other like-minded parties into the alliance, aiming to consolidate anti-DMK votes

00:32and present a formidable challenge in the upcoming polls. The AIA-DMK's decision to project EPS as

00:38its leader was accompanied by strong criticism of the DMK government, accusing it of failing

00:44to fulfil poll promises and mismanaging key issues such as rising taxes, the three-language policy,

00:50and price hikes for essential commodities. The party further demanded transparency from the DMK,

00:56calling for a white paper on investments, job creation and the outcomes of Chief Minister

01:02M.K. Stalin's foreign tours. The resolution also condemned ongoing violence against women in the

01:08state and expressed support for the centre's move to include caste enumeration in the next national

01:14census. The BJP-AIA-DMK alliance, confirmed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, marks a big revival after

01:21their split in 2023. Amit Shah earlier said that the elections will be contested under the leadership

01:27of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the national level and EPS in Tamil Nadu. Both parties have

01:33pledged to offer a people-centric, corruption-free alternative to the DMK, which has dominated state

01:39politics since 2021. With elections scheduled for April-May 2026, the stage is now set for a high-stakes

01:46contest. The AIA-DMK, under EPS's leadership and with renewed backing from the BJP, is positioning

01:53itself as the primary opposition force determined to reclaim power and usher in a new era for Tamil Nadu.
