AIADMK says post-poll results will determine if the govt is standalone or coalition

AIADMK spokesperson Kovai Sathyan on Thursday dismissed rift rumours within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Tamil Nadu, saying alliance 'decisions' will be taken after the election results and slammed "paid media on DMK's payroll" for spreading speculation.

Sathyan said the nature of the next government—whether standalone or coalition—would depend on the election outcome. "Our leader, Edappadi K Palaniswami, made it clear that we have to address the alliance parties after the results of the elections. The nature of the results will determine whether the government is all by itself or a coalition government. Misrepresenting these two terminologies in their favour is the handiwork of certain paid media on DMK's payroll," he said.
