The AIADMK party in Tamil Nadu is experiencing significant turmoil following the resignation of three MLAs—Maragatham Kumaravel, Sathyabama, and Jayakumar—who have decided to join the Tamil Nadu Vanniyar Kula Sangam (TVK) after a disappointing election outcome. They submitted their resignations to Assembly Speaker JCD Prabakaran, which, upon acceptance, will lead to bye-elections in their respective constituencies: Madurantakam, Dharapuram, and Perundurai. This resignation reduces AIADMK's total seats from 47 to 44. The party has been grappling with internal strife since the Assembly elections, highlighted by a recent floor test that saw a faction of 25 MLAs supporting the TVK, leading to accusations of defiance within the party. Additionally, senior AIADMK leader S Semmalai resigned, expressing dissatisfaction with the party's direction and the mental anguish felt by many party workers. The ongoing crisis raises questions about AIADMK's future stability and unity.
