CHENNAI: The changed political scenario in Tamil Nadu has charged up the saffron party here, which envisages bright prospects for the lotus to bloom in the state.
The BJP is likely to revive poll ties with old ally, in the process, to face the next Assembly election.
For the record, party chief Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan has asserted that the days for BJP to capture power in the State is not far away.
“BJP has the guts to take on DMK and eclipse it,” she said. Party seniors like Union Minister of State for Finance and Shipping Pon Radhakrishnan who are keen to see BJP members occupy the Treasury Benches in the Assembly, insist that the party does not construe opposition parties including DMK as a “threat.”
The state government's decision to introduce Yoga in schools, its categorical support to the Central programmes like the Clean India Campaign have come as blessing in disguise for BJP to take Prime Minister Narendra Modi's name to the nook and corners of the state.
“Non-corrupt governance will be a major plank for BJP to ride its way to victory in the elections,” a party senior expressed.
Expressing in similar vein, BJP senior M. Chakravarthy says “the changed political atmosphere may lead to BJP reviving its poll ties with the AIADMK. If 'superstar' Rajinikanth lends support, the BJP will become a formidable force and it will keep away DMK.”
Dr Soundararajan told a huge gathering at Villupuram on the eve of Gandhi Jayanthi that DMK working president M. K. Stalin's dream of coming to power by topping the AIADMK government will not materialise.
“Parties like DMK and VCK lack effective political issues and hence resort to politicising Neet,” she said and added that the court verdict in 2G spectrum case on Oct. 25 will seal the fate of DMK.
