Accordingly it became apparent that all is not well within the ruling party's alliance as well. In a surprising personal attack, AIADMK minister D Jayakumar took on former Union minister Pon Radhakrishnan of the bjp after the latter alleged that tamilnadu has been a training ground for terrorists since former chief minister Jayalalitha's period. Meanwhile his comments came after the murder of Special Sub-Inspector Wilson by two terror suspect in Kanyakumari district on january 8. The former minister alleged that tamilnadu had become a 'terrorist hub'. 

 

Furthermore when asked for a response to this, an angry Fisheries minister lashed out at the bjp leader. The problem is that the local leaders seem to think they can say anything and get away with it," explained a source in the AIADMK. Further statements from the bjp in the last week, including its claim that the saffron party would have won more seats without an alliance with the AIADMK in the rural local body polls, have not gone down well with the tamil Nadu leadership.

 

AIADMK source stated "We would have done better in lok sabha elections without this alliance. We are losing out on votes because of them and they are talking like this". However, he admitted that this attitude from the AIADMK would not be seen if a national bjp leader had said the same. He added "Our response would not have been the same. As of now, our relationship with the Centre is smooth. minister piyush goyal is in touch with both Velumani and Thangamani in the cabinet. An alliance for 2021 too seems definite, but the AIADMK's confidence to retaliate to Pon Radhakrishnan, also stems from its recent electoral victories and the prospect of contesting in the upcoming urban local body polls.
