AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) has filed a petition in the Madras High Court regarding the party symbol and internal issues.
In his petition, he has requested the court to set a deadline for the Election Commission to complete the preliminary inquiry on the complaints related to AIADMK’s symbol and party matters.
EPS stated that with the Assembly elections approaching, the Election Commission must resolve the issue within a fixed time.
Meanwhile, the political rumour mill is abuzz with talk of a possible AIADMK-BJP reunion. The two parties, which parted ways in September 2023 following sharp differences – particularly over Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai’s remarks against AIADMK icons CN Annadurai and J Jayalalithaa – appear to be inching toward reconciliation.
Recent developments, including EPS’s meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi last week, have fuelled speculation that a tie-up could be in the works for 2026.
