Dhinakaran Details AIADMK's Alternative Plans Amid TVK Government Challenges
AMMK leader TTV Dhinakaran revealed that AIADMK leaders, including Edappadi K Palaniswami, considered making VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan Chief Minister if actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) failed to form the government. This move aimed to prevent poaching of TVK MLAs, not to block Vijay's government. Dhinakaran criticized the TVK government over rising commodity prices and predicted its fall, while expressing support for restoring the AIADMK-led 'Amma' government and welcoming actor Dhanush's potential political entry.
