DMK may drop Vaiko, give seat to Kamal; AIADMK may have to depend on BJP MLAs to win at least 2 seats

- T MURUGANANDHAM & S KUMARESAN @Chennai

THE elections to six Rajya Sabha seats from Tamil Nadu next month is likely to offer clarity on the uncertainty surrounding the possible alliance formations, especially in the opposition camp, for 2026.

With the PMK and the DMDK yet to announce which side they would be aligning with for the 2026 election, PMK Anbumani Ramadoss's tenure getting over and the DMDK's expectation for a Rajya Sabha seat with the help of AIADMK has made the situation interesting.

AIADMK can get two MPs elected with its available strength and the support of BJP and PMK, of which it would like to retain one for itself. The other two parties, however, cannot get a seat without the support of AIADMK.
