The AIADMK leadership removed senior leaders C.V. Shanmugam, S.P. Velumani and C. Vijayabaskar from key party posts after internal divisions deepened over support to Chief Minister Vijay during the Tamil Nadu Assembly trust vote. The action was taken by party chief Edappadi K. Palaniswami amid a growing rebellion within the party. A breakaway AIADMK faction had backed Vijay’s TVK government during the floor test, helping it secure a comfortable majority in the Assembly. The move has intensified the political crisis inside AIADMK, with reports suggesting sharp disagreements over leadership, alliances and the party’s future direction in Tamil Nadu politics.
