O Panneerselvam hints at alliance with BJP

Former Tamil Nadu chief minister O Panneerselvam on Saturday morning hinted at an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party in future, as reported by CNN News 18 and Republic TV.

The senior All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader posted on Twitter that a decision on alliance with BJP will be taken after the announcement of local body elections. “We will take a decision on alliance with BJP once local body elections are announced.,” he posted.
