Tamil Nadu Minister Claims 15 AIADMK Leaders May Quit Amid Party Tensions
Tamil Nadu Minister K.A. Sengottaiyan claimed that 15 more AIADMK leaders are likely to quit the party soon, citing recent meetings among dissenting members. He criticized AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami and highlighted the party's declining influence following bypoll results favoring the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The AIADMK denied these claims, with its advocate wing accusing Sengottaiyan of misusing power. Opposition parties criticized the TVK for alleged horse-trading amid shifting political loyalties.
