During a thanksgiving rally in Edappadi, Edappadi K Palaniswami, the general secretary of the AIADMK, expressed concerns over the stability of the Tamil Nadu government led by the Tamil Nadu Vanniyar Katchi (TVK). He asserted that the government, having secured only 108 seats and lacking an absolute majority, relies heavily on the support of the VCK and Communist parties, which could be withdrawn at any moment, leading to its potential collapse. Palaniswami criticized the government's financial management, questioning how a debt-laden state with liabilities exceeding ₹10 lakh crore could fund ambitious welfare schemes such as ₹2,500 monthly allowances for women. He also highlighted the lack of clarity surrounding the government's announced 426 schemes and condemned recent defections from the AIADMK as a betrayal. Emphasizing his long-standing loyalty to the party, he declared that AIADMK remains a movement with a promising future, ready to reclaim power in the next elections.
