AMMK to Join PM Modi's NDA Rally in Chennai, Fuels Reunion Speculation

• AMMK is set to participate in a PM Modi-led NDA rally near Chennai on January 23, sparking rumors of its return to the coalition.
• The rally will be held at Madhuranthagam, 70 km from Chennai, with BJP's Piyush Goyal visiting to finalize seat-sharing.
• AMMK had left the NDA in September 2025, citing BJP's favoritism towards AIADMK's Edappadi Palaniswami (EPS).
• AMMK chief TTV Dhinakaran previously stated he would only rejoin if EPS was not the CM candidate, but has now decided to attend the rally.
• Behind-the-scenes talks involving K Annamalai and the need to consolidate votes against DMK influenced AMMK's decision.

Why It Matters: AMMK's participation in the NDA rally signals a potential reunion, despite past disagreements over EPS's leadership.
