VK Sasikala Launches New Party Amid AIADMK Leadership Challenges

VK Sasikala, once a key figure behind Tamil Nadu's AIADMK leadership, has re-entered politics by launching a new party with a flag symbolizing Dravidian legacy. Her return follows years of political silence after a conviction in 2017. Meanwhile, AIADMK faces internal challenges as O Panneerselvam, a former Jayalalithaa loyalist, joined rival DMK and criticized party chief Edappadi K Palaniswami, whom Sasikala also brands a "betrayer." These developments come amid AIADMK's efforts to regain electoral strength.
