Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday (June 8, 2025) asserted that the NDA would form governments in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.

Addressing party office bearers, he hailed Madurai as a city of ‘Parivartan’ and said his party’s Karyakarta Sammelan (workers meet) would lead to change as well, of dislodging DMK from power.

He said that in the 2026 Assembly election, the BJP-AIADMK will form the NDA Government in Tamil Nadu and will defeat DMK in the 2026 polls. “The DMK is 100% failure government,” he said.

“In 2026, in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, the NDA will form governments.” Mr. Shah, before addressing the state, district and mandal level office bearers, chaired the meeting of the state core committee of the Tamil Nadu BJP. Ahead of leading the core panel parleys, he worshipped at the Madurai Meenakshi temple.

Taking a dig at Tamil Nadu’s DMK Government, Mr. Shah made allegations about the financial irregularities with the TASMAC. He said, “At least two classrooms in each school across T.N. could have been built with the sum equivalent to TASMAC irregularities.”
