All Is Fair In Politics: DMK-AIADMK Alliance Possible? 7 Times Rivals Joined Hands For Power

Rumors are swirling of a possible alliance between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) in Tamil Nadu as Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) falls short of majority. This would be a first for the state, but not for India, where there have been several instances of unlikely alliances.
The DMK and AIADMK are considering an alliance in Tamil Nadu after TVK fell short of majority. Over 20 AIADMK MLAs have been shifted to a Puducherry resort. This potential alliance would be a first in Tamil Nadu, but Indian politics has seen several unlikely friendships. The BJP and PDP formed a government in Jammu & Kashmir in 2015, despite ideological differences. In 2019, Shiv Sena joined hands with Congress and NCP to form a government in Maharashtra. The JD(U) and RJD have also formed alliances in Bihar in 2015 and 2022. These examples show that politics is a game of power, and alliances can be formed between former rivals to achieve it.
