"BJP has no competition, we will win everywhere": Tamil Nadu BJP President Nainar Nagendran on TVK chief Vijay's remarks

Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) [India], November 6 (ANI): Tamil Nadu BJP President Nainar Nagendran on Thursday expressed full confidence in his party's prospects for the upcoming 2026 Assembly elections, saying the BJP faces no real competition in the state.
Speaking to ANI, Nagendran said, "The BJP has no competition. We are confident that we will win everywhere."
Nagendran's remarks came after Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief and actor Vijay made a strong political statement, positioning his party as a key challenger to the ruling DMK. Vijay had said, "The Chief Minister has started a game for political gain. If he doubts the investigation conducted by his own government, it means there is no trust left. Public confidence in this government has been eroded--does the Chief Minister realise this?"
"Even if he loses, he will be ready with a statement that he bows to the public's verdict--he can start preparing for it now. The obstacles before us are temporary. We will stand shoulder to shoulder with the people. The real contest in 2026 will be between the DMK and the TVK," Vijay further added.
Earlier today, AMMK General Secretary TTV Dhinakaran launched a sharp attack on AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami, predicting a political shake-up with the emergence of actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party.
"Predicting the changing electoral landscape, Dhinakaran asserted that the AIADMK alliance could slip to third place after the entry of Vijay's TVK.TVK is a one-year-old party, but because of his cinema popularity, he is very popular. I don't know what percentage he will get in the election. But the perception is that it will be a fight between the DMK alliance and the TVK alliance. He has to form a good alliance, then it will be a very tough election. Normally, DMK vs AIADMK will be the election situation, but this time, because of Palaniswami's failure and his selfish, arrogant nature, he has lost that. Surely, he will go to third place," he said.
"Condition of AIADMK is very bad, it is in ICU; it may go to CCU also. Palaniswami is the B team of DMK. That is why he has fought against the BJP in the 2024 elections, knowing that he will not win. He helped DMK win," he added. (ANI)
