AIADMK will support BJP in the upcoming presidential elections

AIADMK will support the BJP nominee in the next presidential elections, says central Minister Pon Radhakrishnan.

AIADMK support to the BJP will be crucial to ensure outright victory for its nominee in the Presidential polls scheduled on July 17.  The Dravidian party has 5.36 vote share in the Presidential Electoral College. Already, the EPS and the OPS camps are firmly behind the BJP. But the return of Dinakaran from Tihar prison in the EC bribery case has created a confusion among the AIADMK supporters. As on Wednesday evening, Dinakaran has a support of 32 MLAs and five MPs.

Dinakaran and his supporters had hinted at the BJP’s hand in the ruling AIADMK ministers’ decision to side-line Sasikala and her family from the party and the government and also in the EC bribery case.
