Former AIADMK Leaders Join Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam Amid Party Realignments
Several former AIADMK leaders, including film director R V Udayakumar and ex-minister Gomathi Srinivasan, joined the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) recently. TVK leaders highlighted the shared ideology between the two parties and emphasized unity among cadres, with claims of growing defections from AIADMK due to dissatisfaction over its alliance with the DMK. AIADMK leaders, however, asserted their party's continued strength in Tamil Nadu politics. TVK aims to leverage this momentum ahead of local body elections.
