In the aftermath of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, where no party or alliance achieved a simple majority in the 234-member House, BJP State president Nainar Nagenthran declared that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will not support any coalition government. The BJP, part of the AIADMK-led National Democratic Alliance, contested 33 seats but only secured victory in the Udhagamandalam Assembly segment, with its candidate M. Bhojarajan winning by a mere 976 votes. During a press briefing, Nagenthran acknowledged that the electorate did not grant the BJP a chance to participate in the government, stating, “We humbly accept the verdict.” He confirmed that the party's sole MLA will not vote for any coalition and mentioned that no other parties have sought their support. When questioned about the Governor's role in government formation, Nagenthran affirmed that it is the responsibility of any party to present their numbers to the Governor, who holds the authority to make such decisions. The BJP aims to continue voicing the concerns of the Tamil Nadu populace despite the election outcome.
