Parties never succeeded through alliances: Seeman

Cuddalore, Apr 22: In a press interaction held in Cuddalore, Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) Chief Coordinator Seeman asserted that his party has earned the trust of the people without forming alliances with parties that lack honesty and integrity.

“We have not sought shelter in political alliances but have instead taken refuge in the people. With strong principles and a noble vision, we stand in the political arena fully relying on the people’s support. The recognition we’ve received is solely because of the trust voters have placed in us,” he said.

Seeman stated that the NTK would contest the 2026 elections with renewed strategies and the same intensity. “You’ve seen Lord Shiva’s dance; now you’ll witness Seeman’s dance,” he quipped, hinting at a dramatic political performance ahead.

He also commented on members who have exited his party, saying that instead of joining any other existing political party, he had advised them to approach actor Vijay’s political outfit. “They will never be accepted there, not even for a day,” he remarked.

On future alliances, Seeman maintained that he would consider coalitions only if parties that are free from Aryan-Dravidian ideology blending and accept his leadership approach him. “No party has ever truly succeeded through alliances,” he emphasized. “We are focused on permanent victory, so temporary setbacks don’t bother us.”

Addressing speculation around the AIADMK-BJP alliance, he dismissed claims that AIADMK was coerced into it. “Once the alliance was finalized, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi Palaniswami and Amit Shah shared a meal together. After that, there’s nothing more to be said.”

Seeman’s remarks reaffirmed NTK’s stand on ideological purity and independent politics, as the party gears up for a fresh campaign ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections.
