HINTING at a softening of his stance on an alliance with the BJP for the 2026 Assembly elections, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami, on Tuesday, refused to rule out a reunion, stressing that the ruling DMK is the party's "sole adversary" and a splitting of votes will not occur in the upcoming polls.

Speaking to reporters at Attur in Salem, the opposition leader said he would unveil the party's political alliance in six months. "Our aim is to defeat the anti-people DMK rule by ensuring the votes don't get split," he said.

Asked if the AIADMK is in talks with the BJP, EPS avoided a direct answer, instead reiterating that the DMK is the party's only enemy and no other parties are its foes.
