Overview

  • More than 2,000 supporters gathered near the Gobichettipalayam bus stand to greet the AIADMK general secretary during an early-morning stop.
  • It was his first visit to the constituency since K. A. Sengottaiyan was stripped of party posts following a September 5 ultimatum to readmit expelled members.
  • Former minister K. C. Karuppannan, Perundurai MLA S. Jayakumar and newly appointed district secretary A. K. Selvaraj led the reception, while Sengottaiyan was in Chennai.
  • Palaniswami was en route to the Nilgiris as part of the Makkalai Kaappom, Tamizhagathai Meetpom campaign and proceeded via Sathyamangalam, where Bhavanisagar MLA A. Bannari joined him.
  • The turnout in Sengottaiyan’s stronghold served as a visible show of cadre backing as the party intensifies statewide mobilisation ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.
