AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami reaffirmed that DMK remains the party’s only political adversary while addressing the media at a party induction event in Athur, Salem district.
At the event, several members from alternative political groups officially joined AIADMK in Palaniswami’s presence. Speaking at the event, Palaniswami emphasized AIADMK’s inclusive leadership, stating, “Everyone in AIADMK is a leader. Even an ordinary worker can rise to the highest positions.”
Highlighting AIADMK’s contributions, he said, “We fought for the women’s rights fund in Tamil Nadu. We had promised ₹1,500 assistance, but voters were misled into supporting DMK.”
On the party’s future, he declared, “The 2026 assembly elections will end dynastic politics. Just as MGR and Jayalalithaa led AIADMK to success, our workers must continue their unwavering support.”
Responding to a question on alliance with the BJP for the 2026 elections, Edappadi Palaniswami said, “I already told you that the ADMK is ready to defeat the DMK. DMK is our only enemy. No other party is our enemy. DMK has to be defeated. That is our goal. Vote should not be scattered; we must come together to gather all these scattering votes, and it is our (ADMK’s) primary duty to defeat the anti-people DMK regime. We will demonstrate this in the 2026 elections. Ask me after six months whether an alliance with the BJP will be formed. Whatever will be done will be done in the open.”
