Following the split between ADMK and BJP, the Edappadi K. Palaniswami-led Dravidian party has been buttering up with Islamist outfits like Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI – the political arm of the banned radical Islamist terror outfit Popular Front of India) in an attempt to get minority votes.

The secund rung of leaders have been mounting attacks against the BJP especially on the national party’s state president K. Annamalai.

Earlier, former AIADMK Minister RB Udhayakumar had ridiculed Annamalai as a “legiyam seller”, “poochandi”, and “maayandi”.

In the latest attack, ADMK leader C.Ve. Shanmugam trained his guns on the BJP over the building of Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

“If you build a temple, and pray to Ramar, will you get 3 meals a day? Today, they’re inciting emotions and trying to divide people. Be it the government at the Centre or the State government, both these governments are inciting passion and emotion and are covering up real basic problems of the people and doing drama to get votes of the people.“, the ADMK leader said.

The ADMK leader’s comments targeting the Ram Temple in Ayodhya is seen in light of the Dravidian party’s continuous attempt to woo Muslim votes.

TheADMK, after its exit from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), has come under scrutiny for its perceived efforts to court minority voters. This shift is believed to be a response to the party’s claim of losing minority support during its alliance with the BJP.

C.Ve. Shanmugham has for long argued that the AIADMK lost the 2021 Assembly Elections because their alliance with BJP cost them minority community votes.
