Overview

  • On June 5, Anbumani Ramadoss held a 45-minute meeting with his father at Thailapuram Garden in a bid to resolve their public leadership rift.
  • S. Ramadoss’s truce proposal requires Anbumani to step down as party president, serve only as working president and approve key family appointments including his grandson as youth wing secretary.
  • Following Anbumani’s departure, RSS ideologue S. Gurumurthy and AIADMK leader Saidai Duraisamy met with S. Ramadoss, underscoring external efforts to sway the PMK’s alliance decision.
  • A May 16 meeting called by S. Ramadoss drew just 13 of 216 district office bearers, highlighting deep divisions among PMK cadres.
  • The resolution of these talks will determine whether the PMK joins the BJP-led NDA or renews ties with the AIADMK ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
