Chief Minister M.K. Stalin alleged that BJP would divide Tamil Nadu similar to Jammu & Kashmir if the AIADMK-led alliance wins power. Speaking at election rallies in Perambalur and Ariyalur districts, Stalin claimed BJP seeks foothold in Tamil Nadu through AIADMK alliance. He stated BJP plans resembled the Delimitation Bill and would impose Lieutenant Governor rule like Puducherry. Stalin warned that AIADMK victory would result in Tamil Nadu losing statehood.
