AIADMK Faces Major Revolt as 36 MLAs Reportedly Prepare to Join Vijay’s TVK

The development has exposed a deepening internal crisis within the AIADMK and threatens to significantly weaken the party’s existing power structure. According to political sources, several newly elected AIADMK legislators have rallied behind senior party leader C.V. Shanmugam and are strongly advocating for a strategic alliance with TVK.

The reported move has emerged as a direct challenge to the leadership of Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS), who currently heads the AIADMK. The party secured 45 seats in the elections, making the possible defection of 36 legislators a potentially devastating blow that could alter the political balance in the state.

Sources indicate that Palaniswami remains reluctant to extend support to TVK despite growing pressure from within his own party. His hesitation has reportedly intensified dissatisfaction among a significant section of AIADMK legislators who believe an alliance with Vijay’s party could reshape the state’s political future.

The political tension has escalated further as Palaniswami is said to be preparing to stake claim to power if TVK chief Vijay fails to submit proof of majority support to the Governor before the end of the day. This high-stakes deadline has added urgency to an already volatile situation and has placed Tamil Nadu at the center of an intense political showdown.

The reported rebellion within AIADMK and the possible migration of a large group of legislators to TVK could mark one of the most significant political realignments in Tamil Nadu in recent years. As both parties navigate this crucial moment, the outcome may redefine the state’s leadership and reshape its political trajectory.
