In Tamil Nadu, AIADMK was the largest partner in the NDA and naturally, the Chief Minister will be from that party, Ravi, BJP's state incharge, told reporters, answering a volley of questions on ties between the two parties.

A formal decision would be made on the Chief Ministerial candidate of the NDA once the Election Commission issues the notification for the assembly elections, expected in April- May.

The AIADMK has already announced incumbent K Palaniswami as its chief ministerial candidate in the election.
