The proposal is part of ongoing discussions over a possible electoral arrangement between the BJP and TVK ahead of the state polls, sources told the media outlet, adding that talks between the two sides had entered the final stages.
However, leaders of TVK have publicly denied the possibility of an alliance with the NDA.
TVK Joint General Secretary C T R Nirmal Kumar has dismissed reports of negotiations with the BJP-led alliance as “rumours”, reiterating that the party had already made its ideological position clear.
“There’s no scope for an alliance with the NDA. We have already made it clear that the BJP is our ideological enemy,” Kumar told reporters, while urging party members not to rely on speculation circulating in the media and on social media.

The remarks came amid mounting speculation about the political future of Vijay, whose newly formed TVK is preparing to contest its first Assembly election in Tamil Nadu.
Some sources within the party have said internal discussions are underway on whether an alliance with established political parties could improve the party’s electoral prospects.
According to people familiar with the discussions, party leaders have debated whether joining forces with the BJP–AIADMK combine could create a broader opposition front against the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).
The idea being discussed internally, sources said, is whether such a coalition could replicate the Jana Sena–Telugu Desam Party alliance model in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, where actor-politician Pawan Kalyan joined forces with established parties to form a government.
At the same time, sections within TVK have reportedly argued that the party should contest independently, invoking the political legacy of former Tamil Nadu chief minister MG Ramachandran, who rose to power through his own political movement.
Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagenthran, when asked about the possibility of an alliance with TVK, declined to give a direct answer.
“You are worried about the alliance, and I am concerned about the people’s issues, especially the failure of law and order in the state and lack of safety for women,” Nagenthran told reporters, without confirming or denying talks.
Speculation about a possible tie-up has intensified in recent days, particularly on social media, even as both parties have refrained from making any official announcement regarding a formal alliance.
TVK has consistently maintained that it will project Vijay as its chief ministerial candidate, and while the party has indicated it may consider sharing power if it wins, no major political party has yet formally joined it in an electoral alliance.
