R. B. Udhaya Kumar, a prominent leader of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) party in Tamil Nadu, expressed optimism regarding potential positive developments for the party during a press interaction on May 9, 2026. Following a meeting with former Law Minister C. V. Shanmugam at his residence in Chennai, Kumar advised journalists to 'be patient' as the party navigates internal discussions. Reports indicate that Shanmugam's recent meeting attracted a large number of MLAs, highlighting the growing concern over his differences with AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami. These differences reportedly revolve around the party's stance towards the incoming Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government and the potential for alliances with their traditional rival, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). Earlier the same day, Palaniswami convened a meeting with party legislators and office-bearers to address these issues.
