A faction of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), led by CV Shanmugam, has declared its support for the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), the ruling coalition in Tamil Nadu, headed by Chief Minister Joseph Vijay. This announcement comes in light of the AIADMK's recent electoral defeats, including three losses to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and a fourth to the TVK. Shanmugam emphasized the need to revitalize the AIADMK, criticizing party leader Edappadi K Palaniswami's consideration of an alliance with the DMK, which he deemed politically unprecedented and detrimental to the party's identity. He stated that the majority of AIADMK members rejected the idea of forming a government with DMK support, asserting that such a move would threaten the existence of the AIADMK. The TVK recently secured a significant victory, winning 108 of the 234 seats in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, but still requires additional support to achieve a majority. Shanmugam's faction aims to fill this gap, although the future of the TVK remains uncertain due to its reliance on long-time DMK allies for support.
