The ongoing rift between PMK founder Dr S Ramadoss and his son Anbumani is casting a long shadow over the party's future prospects. As internal divisions widen, senior leaders within the Vanniyar-dominated party express concern about the impact on upcoming Assembly elections.
The conflict initially erupted in December 2024 regarding the appointment of Mukundan Parasuraman as the state youth wing president. Anbumani's opposition to Mukundan, Ramadoss's grandson and choice for the role, highlighted the deep-seated differences.
The disagreement intensified with Ramadoss taking full control of the party, sidelining Anbumani to a working president role. Amidst the power struggle, allegations surfaced, including social media account takeovers and the discovery of a bugging device at Ramadoss's residence.
