DMK MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi on Friday said political parties aligning with the BJP face a bleak future, labelling the AIADMK's ties with the saffron party a "betrayal alliance" that deceives both the state and its own cadre. Campaigning in the Nilakottai Assembly constituency for DMK candidate Nagajyothi, Kanimozhi dismissed allegations from the AIADMK-BJP combine that the DMK is anti-Hindu.

She also accused the treasury benches of turning a blind eye and providing strong support to corporates even when their "wrong-doings" come to the fore. "... Hindenburg Research has given reports on 15 other institutions in different countries. But no other country has said that the report was against the country. "When we are talking about Adani, it becomes against the country. I am confused. We have started calling India 'Bharat', now what is the next progress?
