The AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) has strongly criticized its senior leaders CV Shanmugam and SP Velumani for aligning with the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay. In a pointed post on X, the party's IT wing accused the rebels of spreading lies and seeking ministerial positions, stating they had 'begged' for roles within the TVK. This criticism comes in the wake of the AIADMK's fourth consecutive electoral defeat, which has raised serious concerns about the party's future and relevance in Tamil Nadu politics. Shanmugam, while acknowledging the electoral setbacks, emphasized the importance of reviving the party and firmly rejected any potential alliance with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), asserting that such a move would threaten the existence of the AIADMK. This internal strife underscores the leadership challenges faced by party chief Edappadi K Palaniswami, as the party grapples with its identity and direction following the death of its iconic leader, J Jayalalitha, in December 2016.
