As Tamil Nadu heads towards the 2026 Assembly elections, the NDA has intensified its attack on the ruling DMK government, with Union Minister Piyush Goyal accusing it of poor governance and economic mismanagement. The alliance, led by AIADMK’s Edappadi K. Palaniswami, is positioning itself as a united front, with seat-sharing discussions currently underway among key partners. The NDA’s campaign narrative focuses on development, employment, and welfare, while projecting EPS as the chief ministerial candidate. The political contest is shaping up as a direct battle between the DMK-led alliance and the NDA bloc.
