AIADMK Members Expected to Defect to TVK, Says Party Official

Coimbatore, India – December 25, 2025 – A potential shake-up in Tamil Nadu politics may be on the horizon as the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) anticipates an influx of members from the rival AIADMK party. K.A. Sengottaiyan, Chief Coordinator of the TVK’s Administrative Committee, announced Wednesday that several AIADMK leaders are expected to join their ranks in the near future.

Sengottaiyan pointed to the ongoing political developments surrounding former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam (OPS) as a catalyst for this shift. OPS has reportedly stated his unwillingness to rejoin the AIADMK under the current leadership of Edappadi K. Palaniswami.

“We expect a clear decision from Mr. Panneerselvam shortly,” Sengottaiyan told reporters in Coimbatore.

While alliance talks are swirling, Sengottaiyan clarified that no discussions are currently underway between the TVK and the Congress party. Alliance decisions will be made later, following internal discussions.

The TVK also emphasized the growing popularity of its president, Vijay, particularly among the public. Vijay is scheduled to participate in an event in Malaysia on December 27th and 28th, after which future political tours will be discussed.

Sengottaiyan expressed confidence in the TVK’s prospects for the 2026 Assembly elections. “Public support for Mr. Vijay is growing steadily,” he said, claiming an organic enthusiasm unmatched by other parties. He anticipates significant political developments following the Pongal festival.
