New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
The BJP has released its third list of candidates, which contains nine names for Tamil Nadu, a state where it is yet to gain a foothold. The announcement comes on the heels of a seat sharing deal with a handful of smaller parties.<\/p>\n
The BJP, which will contest 20 of the state’s 39 seats, has fielded former Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan from Chennai South, state party chief K Annamalai from Coimbatore, Union Minister L Murugun from Nilgiri and senior leaders Pon Radhakrishnan from Kanyakumari and Dr AC Shanmugam from Vellore.<\/p>\n
The seat sharing deal announced earlier today, lists 20 seats for the BJP, 10 for PMK, 3 for TMC, 2 for AMMK, one each for IJK, NJP and two other smaller parties.<\/p>\n
The equation evolved after the talks with former ally AIADMK fell through. Failing to make any headway in the state, the northern ally was considered a liability by most leaders in the state. What didn’t help were a series of fighting words from the state BJP chief.<\/p>\n
Over the last weeks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had campaigned in AIADMK strongholds, making it clear that the\u00a0 two parties were ready to go their separate ways.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the AIADMK had released its first list of 16 candidates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
