Chennai : Fast-moving political developments in the Tamil Nadu unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party appear to have had a ripple effect on the NDA’s Rajya Sabha seat-sharing arrangement in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. According to sources, the seat was earlier reportedly being considered for former Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai, who is expected to resign from the party on Friday.
NDA leaders, including Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan and state BJP leaders, held a meeting in Amaravati on Thursday to finalise the new arrangement for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections. Under the revised formula, three of the four Rajya Sabha seats falling vacant in Andhra Pradesh will go to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), while the remaining seat will be allotted to the Jana Sena Party (JSP).
The NDA leaders also decided to hold three public meetings in Tirupati, Amaravati and Visakhapatnam later this month as part of efforts to strengthen coordination among alliance partners. Annamalai held a series of high-level meetings in New Delhi on Tuesday (June 2) involving Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP national president Nitin Nabin, and the party’s national general secretary (organisation), BL Santosh.
His remarks came amid intense discussion on social media over his next political move. Posters featuring slogans like “Our Leader, Come and Lead Us” have been put up along key roads and streets in Coimbatore ahead of Annamalai’s birthday on June 4. The 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections marked a historic shift in state politics as TVK won 108 seats in its debut election, ending the decades-long dominance of the DMK and AIADMK formations.
