According to sources, discussions between the BJP and the popular actor Vijay's party, TVK, are nearing completion ahead of the Tamil Nadu assembly elections. The BJP aims to align Vijay's party with the NDA, reaching out through various channels, including involving a deputy chief minister from another state as an intermediary.
Offer of Deputy Chief Minister Position and 80 Seats
As reported by a news outlet, the BJP has extended a significant offer to Vijay. Should the alliance succeed in the elections, Vijay could be appointed as the deputy chief minister. Additionally, the BJP has proposed allocating around 80 seats to his party. However, discussions have stalled over Vijay's ambition to become the chief minister himself.
BJP Eyes Vijay's Fan Base
The BJP believes that Vijay's substantial fan following could be a game-changer in the Tamil Nadu elections. Strategists suggest that even a mere 2% shift in votes could significantly impact the election outcome. The party hopes that Vijay's involvement will tilt the electoral dynamics in their favor.
Concerns Within the Party Regarding the Alliance
On the other hand, some close advisors to Vijay express unease about the alliance. They fear that joining a major national coalition too soon could tarnish their party's reputation. Vijay has established himself as a fresh and independent political alternative, and his advisors worry that aligning with the BJP might dilute this unique identity.
