EVEN as the war over coalition government in 2026 is on between the supporters of the AIADMK and the BJP on social media, PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Sunday said the state will see a coalition government after the 2026 Assembly elections and his party will be part of it.
"In 2026, there will be a coalition government in which the PMK will be a partner. The PMK is not here to make any party the ruling party in Tamil Nadu. We should also rule. Only when we are a part (in that government), will we be able to establish social justice," Anbumani said while addressing the general council meeting of the party's undivided Thiruvallur district unit.
In this regard, he recalled that in 2004 his party was a partner in the UPA-I government at the centre, and it was the PMK that made the demand to implement 27% reservation for OBCs in education in central government educational institutions a part of the Common Minimum Programme.
