AIADMK Faction Led by Palanisamy Seeks Speaker’s Disqualification of Velumani Faction

The Tamil Nadu Assembly’s Speaker received a formal appeal from the Palanisamy-led faction of the AIADMK, requesting that the Velumani-led group be disqualified from the party’s state unit. The appeal cites alleged violations of party constitution and claims that the Velumani faction has been acting without proper authority.\nThe Speaker’s office has acknowledged receipt of the petition and is expected to review the case under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act.\nThis development follows a series of clashes between the two factions, which have been vying for control of the party’s leadership and electoral strategy. The outcome of the Speaker’s decision could reshape the internal dynamics of the AIADMK and affect its position in upcoming state elections.
