In this interview with K Ezhilarasan, his first to a newspaper after the move, Raajhaa talks about the reasons to quit and what made the AIADMK to ally with the BJP again. Edited excerpts.
You remained with the AIADMK when it allied with the BJP in 2019 Lok Sabha and 2021 Assembly polls. Why leave the party now?
Not only in 2019 and 2021, the AIADMK allied with the BJP even under the leadership of late CM J Jayalalithaa in 1998 and 2004. They were purely electoral alliances, without compromising on ideology.
