Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting L Murugan, upon his arrival at Coimbatore Airport in Tamil Nadu, addressed the ongoing factional crisis within the AIADMK but did not provide detailed comments. He stated he would discuss the matter later, emphasizing that there was nothing significant to share at the moment. This follows claims by senior leader C V Shanmugam that a majority of AIADMK MLAs have passed a resolution to contest elections independently, distancing themselves from any alliance, including the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Shanmugam openly criticized the party's General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS), accusing him of undermining the party's core ideology through expulsions of dissenting leaders. The situation has intensified with EPS's faction taking disciplinary actions against several MLAs for defying party directives during a recent floor test in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. The ongoing infighting raises concerns about the AIADMK's unity and leadership as it approaches future elections.
