In the lead up to the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national executive committee member and actor R Sarathkumar conveyed optimism about the National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) prospects. He criticized the ineffective delivery of Central Government welfare schemes, despite their announced benefits.

Speaking to ANI, Sarathkumar stated, "The elections would be highly favourable for the NDA, and I am confident that the alliance has a strong chance of victory." He also pointed out that the Tamil Nadu government frequently alleges that the Central Government has been inactive, despite its efforts.

The BJP's state president, Nainar Nagendran, launched an attack on the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and Congress, calling their partnership a 'failed engine.' He responded to Chief Minister MK Stalin's criticism that the NDA was a 'dabba engine', suggesting that the election results will expose which alliance truly lacks momentum.
