BJP-led NDA has decided to boycott the Erode East bypoll scheduled for February 5 and would focus on dethroning the ruling DMK in the hustings next year, the saffron party's state unit said on Sunday. BJP's announcement virtually makes the election a no-contest as main opposition AIADMK and the DMDK have already announced boycotting the by-election, necessitated by the death of Congress MLA EVKS Elangovan. DMK has nominated VC Chandrakumar on behalf of its-led bloc, which also has the Congress in the alliance.
BJP TN chief K Annamalai said the upcoming election was a «by-election for a by-election,» following the bypoll held here in 2022.
He recalled there were accusations of the ruling DMK then «confining» people at designated places.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) faced the DMK violating poll rules due to the «arrogance» of being the ruling party.
«The coming 2026 Assembly polls is one meant to remove the DMK (from the ruling saddle) and the NDA is moving towards that target and does not want to allow the DMK to confine people like cattle once again,» he said in a statement.
