Blow to AIADMK: 3 Legislators Quit, Join Tamil Nadu CM Vijay's Outfit Within Hours The latest round of defections within Tamil Nadu's ruling party, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), has exposed deep seated power struggles and fissures that have long plagued its ranks.
Three legislators from the rebel camp led by C Ve Shanmugam S P Velumani have quit to join Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), a party headed by Chief Minister Vijay.
The speed of this development is astonishing, with the trio resigning and joining TVK within hours of each other. It suggests a level of coordination that raises questions about their motivations and loyalties.
