MADURAI: AMMK general secretary TTV Dhinakaran on Tuesday said former chief minister O Panneerselvam could join the AIADMK-BJP alliance in the future, expressing optimism about the NDA expanding further ahead of the Assembly election.
“Ahead of polls, we anticipate more parties to come on board, which will further solidify the alliance. I am also optimistic about the possibility of O Panneerselvam becoming part of our alliance,” he told reporters in Madurai.
