In a fiery political exchange, AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami targeted Chief Minister MK Stalin, questioning the DMK's authority to invoke Dravidian figure C N Annadurai's name. The former chief minister accused Stalin of politicizing government functions, alleging that the DMK has strayed from its founder's principles.

The AIADMK leader pointed to the upcoming 2026 Assembly election as an opportunity to restore 'peace, prosperity, growth, and state rights' allegedly lost under DMK rule.
