Scotching speculations that he is keeping the option of teaming up with the BJP for the 2026 assembly election, AIADMK general secretary and former Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) has made it clear that the party will never enter into an electoral alliance with the saffron party.
Continuing the war of words with opposition AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) for questioning the naming spree of his government after the late DMK patriarch Karunanidhi, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Tuesday termed the criticism as malicious and borne out of vengefulness.
Responding to the AIADMK leader's allegation that the DMK government is not allocating enough for capital expenditure, Stalin accused him of being a 'habitual liar'.
Opposition AIADMK leader Edappadi Palaniswami on Friday mocked Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin, saying that as an astrologer, he predicts the potential collapse of the DMK regime and that his forecast will come true in the 2026 assembly election.
A total of 225 nominations were filed for the post of General Secretary but only the nomination of Palaniswami were accepted.
It is expected that the AIADMK's interim general secretary, Palaniswami, will be elected the general secretary unopposed.
The court was dealing with a batch of pleas relating to the tussle between former Chief Ministers O Panneerselvam (OPS) and EPS over AIADMK leadership.
The DMK government has scrapped several welfare schemes implemented by the party, including free laptop scheme for school students as well as Amma clinics, alleged EPS.
The single bench judge, Justice G. Jayachandran had ordered to maintain the status quo of the general council meeting of June 23, according to which O. Panneerselvam will become the Coordinator and EPS will be joint convenor.
Visuals showed OPS supporters hitting E Palaniswami's photo with slippers. Some of OPS supporters were seen breaking open the door of AIADMK office.
