Rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)

• The BJP’s national ascendancy disrupted the binary system, fostering internal dissension and multiple splits.

• AIADMK is now in alliance with the BJP, prioritizing dislodging the DMK over ideological alignment.

• AIADMK has criticized the BJP’s corrosive ideology, blaming the DMK government for failures in securing central funds or abolishing the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).
