AIADMK Rift Deepens as Rebel MLAs Mull Forming Separate Assembly Group

The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) is confronting renewed internal turmoil as a bloc of its legislators signalled intent to break away from the party line in the state assembly. Sources indicate that the dissenting MLAs, who have been at odds with the party leadership over recent strategic decisions, are weighing the creation of a separate assembly group that would operate independently while still retaining their AIADMK affiliation. The party leadership has warned that any such move would jeopardise unity ahead of upcoming elections. Political analysts say the potential split could erode AIADMK's strength in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly and complicate coalition calculations. The situation remains fluid, with the rebel legislators yet to take a formal step.
