The former chief minister was accompanied by the deputy secretary general of the KP Munusamy party, the secretary of the siege of the SP Velumani and deputies.
Earlier, the leaders of the AIADMK called the newly elected vice-president CP Radhakrishnan in Delhi and congratulated him for his victory. Their meeting lasted almost an hour and a half, said a party senior.
Immediately after the departure of the leaders of the AIADMK, the national president of the BJP, JP Nadda, called Radhakrishnan.
The elevation of Radhakrishnan as vice-president was a great pride for Tamil Nadu, said Palaniswami.
“I congratulated him on his victory and I wished him to succeed in his services to the people as vice-president and president of Rajya Sabha,” said Palaniswami in an article on “X.” His visit intervenes in the middle of speculations according to which the party crisis, in particular the calls of certain leaders, to bring in the AIADMK, bend all those who were expelled, had forced him to meet the leaders of the BJP.
A senior party leader said that the AIADMK rank and file stood firmly behind Palaniswami that they elected secretary general.
“Those who strike for the merger of factions can make undulations, but they do not seem to have the intention of accepting Palaniswami as chief ministerial candidate for the elections of the 2026 assembly,” said the senior official.
A few days ago, the head of state of the BJP, Nainar Nagendran, had said that what Palaniswami said about the AIADMK imported.
Indicating that the AIADMK is with Palaniswami, Nogendran said that the BJP had accepted the secretary general of the AIADMK as a CM candidate.
“I am ready to negotiate with the former chief minister o Payerselvam and the chief of AMMK TTV DHINAKARAN and bring them back to the NDA,” he told journalists.
A source from the AIADMK said that Palaniswami is likely to indicate Shah that he had already consolidated his position in the party and that “certain voices” which speak for unity would only derail the prospects of the party to the husts, if they were reader.
Before his departure from Chennai, Palaniswami broke his silence on the fusion and said that those who vandalized the AIADMK headquarters who was considered a “temple” by festive men had no place in the AIADMK.
While addressing a meeting organized by the AIADMK on the birthday birthday of the former chief minister CN Annadurai here on September 15, Palaniswami rejected the speculations according to which his visit to Delhi was to discuss the internal question of the AIADMK.
