Inbadurai says it’s a showdown between MGR’s legacy and Vijay’s legacy

AIADMK faces internal turmoil as Hosur MLA P Balakrishna Reddy backs Edappadi K Palaniswami, signaling a potential truce. This follows multiple rebel MLAs submitting apology letters to avoid disqualification after voting against party lines. The party's strength in the Assembly has dwindled due to recent resignations, intensifying a 'horse-trading' row.

Senior AIADMK leader S Semmalai has resigned, citing deep dissatisfaction with the party's current state and recent developments post-elections. He expressed immense mental anguish, stating that internal infighting has damaged the party's image, even drawing ridicule from English newspapers. Semmalai, who felt sidelined after Jayalalithaa's death, lamented the party's deviation from its founding principles.

Malavika Mohanan recently found herself dealing with an uncomfortable situation during a media interaction after she was asked a question involving Vijay and Trisha Krishnan. The actress responded sharply at the event, and after the clip began circulating widely on social media, she took to X to clarify her stance and call for respectful interactions.

Following their election defeat, both DMK and AIADMK are experiencing internal unrest. AIADMK veteran S Semmalai resigned citing 'dictatorial approach' by EPS, while DMK's P T R Palanivel Thiagarajan announced a temporary break from politics. EPS also accused TVK of horse trading, as rebel AIADMK MLAs push for leadership changes.

Tamil Nadu Finance Minister K A Sengottaiyan criticized AIADMK's weakening under Edappadi K. Palaniswami, attributing it to his leadership style. He also commented on the new TVK government, highlighting Chief Minister Vijay's financial crisis handling abilities and the government's swift actions on women's safety and liquor shop closures.

Megastar Chiranjeevi personally congratulated Tamil Nadu CM Vijay on his historic election win, wishing him success and urging him to win people's love like MGR. Chiranjeevi expressed confidence in Vijay's ability to govern with a focus on public welfare and positive change. This follows Chiranjeevi's earlier viral social media praise and highlights his strong bond with Vijay's father, filmmaker S.

C. Joseph Vijay was sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Sunday, marking a significant political shift. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Vijay and assured continued central government support for the state's welfare. Vijay's party, TVK, secured victory in the 2026 elections, ending the dominance of Dravidian parties.

Legendary actress Manorama holds a unique record, having shared screen space with seven South Indian Chief Ministers, including Annadurai, Karunanidhi, MGR, and Jayalalithaa. Despite her immense success and a career spanning over 1,500 films, she harbored an unfulfilled dream of portraying a transgender character.

K.A. Sengottaiyan, a veteran politician with a five-decade career, has achieved a remarkable feat by becoming a 10-time legislator in Tamil Nadu. His journey began in grassroots politics in the 1970s, leading to significant roles, including School Education Minister. Following his expulsion from AIADMK, he joined the TVK party, further demonstrating his enduring political influence.

AIADMK faces a deepening power struggle as senior leaders and MLAs convene meetings amid electoral setbacks. Factions led by Edappadi K Palaniswami and S P Velumani are vying for legislature party leadership, with competing claims submitted to the pro-tem Speaker. This marks the third major split threat in the party's history.

Munusamy stated that the media was spreading misinformation suggesting that the AIADMK would extend support to Vijay’s party.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's choice of a sleek black suit for his oath-taking ceremony, inspired by his film 'Beast', signaled a deliberate move towards a new political image.
