The AIADMK’s executive and general council wqs convened in Chennai’s Vanagaram Sri Varu Venkatajalapathy Palace, drawing over 5,000 leaders including former ministers and district secretaries. General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) arrived to enthusiastic cheers and proposed K.P. Munusamy as temporary presiding officer due to Tamilmaghan Hussein’s health issues.
A pivotal resolution granted EPS full authority to finalize 2026 Assembly election alliances and partners. The council condemned the DMK government for defying court orders in the Thiruparankundram issue and betraying promises like scrapping NEET, waiving education loans, restoring old pensions, and boosting daily wages to 150 days.l
Further resolutions criticized DMK’s poor northeast monsoon response, flawed Coimbatore-Madurai metro bids lacking proper data, and vague “all for everyone” policies that mislead communities.
