**PMK Leader Anbumani Ramadoss Promises Alliance Announcement, Slams DMK Performance**
**Salem, India – September 4, 2025** – Former Union Minister and prominent PMK leader, Anbumani Ramadoss, has announced that he will soon reveal the party’s alliance strategy for the upcoming 2026 Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu. The announcement came during a reception organized by PMK cadre in Salem on Thursday evening, following Ramadoss’s participation in events in Dharmapuri district.
In a scathing critique of the ruling DMK government, Ramadoss asserted that the administration had only fulfilled a meager 13% of its election promises, a figure he equated to failing marks. “A student must get 35 marks to pass the exams. But, DMK got only 13 marks and failed. So, people should not vote for the DMK” he said, addressing party supporters.
Ramadoss further alleged widespread corruption within the DMK, citing the recent arrest of a party functionary for involvement in a drug racket worth over ₹3,000 crore. He also accused the government of mishandling issues concerning students and farmers, including the detention of farmers under the Goondas Act.
The former Union Minister also took aim at Chief Minister’s recent foreign trip, alleging the Chief Minister claimed he attracted ₹3,000 crore investment from three companies in Germany. He implied ulterior motives behind the Chief Minister’s visit, stating, “I know why the Chief Minister went to foreign countries and I will explain that soon.”
Ramadoss’s strong words signal an intensified political battleground ahead of the 2026 elections. The political landscape of Tamil Nadu is expected to shift as the alliance announcement is highly anticipated.
