Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party leader Pawan Kalyan extended greeting on the 53nd anniversary of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) on 17 October 2024, expressing his admiration and support for the party. In a heartfelt message, he paid tribute to AIADMK founder M.G. Ramachandran (MGR), whom he praised as a “revolutionary leader” whose visionary policies significantly transformed Tamil Nadu, particularly for the disadvantaged.
Kalyan emphasized MGR’s commitment to enhancing the lives of ordinary people, noting how his leadership propelled Tamil Nadu to become one of India’s foremost states. He also recognized the contributions of MGR’s successor, Jayalalithaa, commending her as an exceptional leader whose efforts earned her the endearing title of “Amma.”
In his message, Kalyan extended his best wishes to Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS), the current AIADMK leader, expressing hope that the party would continue to realize MGR’s vision for the state’s development and welfare. He also notably commended O. Panneerselvam (OPS) for his leadership as Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister, highlighting how he effectively guided the AIADMK government during and after the passing of Puratchi Thalaivi Selvi Jayalalithaa, genuinely continuing her legacy. Then highlighted the cultural ties between Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, acknowledging Jayalalithaa’s respect and affection for the Telugu-speaking community.
Pawan Kalyan via his official X accounts stated, “On the 53rd anniversary of@AIADMKOfficial, I extend my sincere congratulations to the party leadership, members, and supporters. Founded on 17 October 1972, by the legendary “Puratchi Thalaivar” Thiru MG Ramachandran (MGR) Avl. #AIADMK rapidly became a formidable political force in Tamil Nadu. #MGR, a leader I hold in the highest regard, was deeply committed to the upliftment of the poor, ensuring no one went hungry and that every individual had the right to live with dignity.”
“What sets MGR apart is his visionary governance. His belief in balancing welfare with development transformed Tamil Nadu into one of the country’s most prosperous states. MGR’s leadership wasn’t just about addressing immediate needs, but about laying a strong foundation for sustainable progress. His commitment to both the people’s welfare and the state’s growth remains a lasting legacy, one that continues to inspire me personally. This legacy was further cemented by “Puratchi Thalaivi” Jayalalithaa Avl, who carried forward MGR’s vision with exceptional leadership.” He added.
“Her governance not only advanced MGR’s ideals but also earned her the eternal respect of the people as “Amma.” Her efforts in fostering harmonious relations with neighboring states and her respect for the Telugu language—reminding us of Bharathiyaar’s great lines, “Sundara Telugu”—are particularly commendable. Under the able leadership of Thiru@EPSTamilNadu Avl, AIADMK continues to uphold the values and vision established by MGR. Despite challenges, the party remains a strong voice for the people of Tamil Nadu, firmly rooted in its core principles.” He further stated
“On this occasion, I also extend my warm greetings to@OfficeofOPS, who, as Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister, ably led the AIADMK government during and after the demise of Puratchi Thalaivi Selvi Jayalalithaa, sincerely following in her footsteps On behalf of myself and the@JanaSenaParty, I extend my best wishes to AIADMK on this momentous occasion. I wish that the party will continue its legacy of serving the people of Tamil Nadu, fulfilling MGR’s vision, meeting the aspirations of the people, and steering the state towards greater heights of development and prosperity. My respect for the Tamil language, culture, and the indomitable fighting spirit of Tamils is something I have always cherished. On this occasion, may the spirit of Thiruvalluvar bless the land of Siddhars and saints in abundance.” He further stated
