Annamalai Tight-Lipped on Vijay-NDA Alliance Ahead of 2026 TN Elections

• Tamil Nadu BJP leader K Annamalai declined to comment on a potential alliance between actor-politician Vijay's TVK and the NDA for the 2026 Assembly elections.
• Annamalai emphasized the need to consolidate all anti-DMK votes to defeat the ruling party, stating it's 'above his pay grade' to discuss specific alliances.
• He described Tamil Nadu's electoral landscape as a 'four-corner fight' involving DMK, AIADMK-NDA, TVK, and Naam Tamilar Katchi.
• Annamalai noted that Vijay's speeches indicate a desire for the DMK to be out of power, with 90% of his rhetoric attacking the DMK.
• He stressed that successful alliances require 'chemistry, positive narrative, and purpose' beyond just numbers, citing PM Modi's upcoming Chennai rally.

Why It Matters: Annamalai avoids direct comment on Vijay-NDA tie-up, focusing on anti-DMK vote consolidation for 2026.
