Annamalai's statement about coffee and tea not mixing has come back to haunt the BJP, as reports suggest the AIADMK might reconsider its stance on an alliance with TVK. This could create tension within the NDA, considering the BJP's initial refusal to work with Vijay.

The TVK has already made a surprising debut in the Tamil Nadu election, with several exit polls predicting a strong performance. Some surveys even suggest the party could win between 98 and 120 seats, potentially making it the single-largest party.

While some polls give the AIADMK-BJP alliance a comfortable majority, the broader picture suggests a much tighter contest. If the final numbers are close, TVK could emerge as the kingmaker, putting pressure on the AIADMK to reconsider its alliance options.

The Tamil Nadu Assembly election was held on April 23, and the votes will be counted on May 4. The outcome will determine whether old rivals and new players will be forced to rethink their positions in the face of changing political arithmetic.

The AIADMK's potential alliance with TVK has sparked a new wave of speculation in the Tamil Nadu politics, with the BJP's reluctance to work with Vijay adding to the complexity of the situation.
