**PMK President Anbumani Ramadoss Alleges Conspiracy, Questions Father’s Cognitive Abilities**

CHENNAI – PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss has ignited internal party tensions by alleging that the ruling DMK and its allies are plotting to destabilize the PMK. His accusations follow recent public praise for PMK founder S. Ramadoss from VCK founder Thol. Thirumavalavan, VCK general secretary D. Ravikumar, and Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president K. Selvaperunthagai.

Speaking at a party social media meeting, Dr. Anbumani questioned the sudden expressions of support for his father, stating, “When did Thirumavalavan last praise PMK founder Dr. Ramadoss? Why is he praising him now? What is the reason for TNCC president Selvaperunthagai’s love for Dr. Ramadoss? Why is he meeting him all of a sudden? DMK is conspiring.”

Adding to the controversy, Dr. Anbumani contradicted his father’s earlier assertion that he was unaware of BJP alliance negotiations leading up to the 2024 Lok Sabha election. He claimed his father was fully aware and directed him to communicate with BJP leaders.

In a particularly sensitive statement, Dr. Anbumani also raised concerns about his father’s cognitive state, suggesting that age has impacted his judgment. “I am deeply affected and stressed by what is happening within the party. I am unable to sleep. Will anyone in their right minds speak about his own son and daughter-in-law during a live telecast?” he said. Despite these comments, Dr. Anbumani urged party members not to criticize the PMK founder, while also claiming that 99% of PMK office-bearers are with him.
