Overview
- At the Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar memorial in Ramanathapuram, K. A. Sengottaiyan joined O. Panneerselvam and T. T. V. Dhinakaran to pay homage and perform a joint aarti.
- The trio pledged to work together for the 2026 Assembly election and invoked the legacies of M. G. Ramachandran and J. Jayalalithaa as their rallying cause.
- After the ceremony, Panneerselvam and Sengottaiyan met V. K. Sasikala at Pasumpon, underscoring coordination among expelled and dissident figures.
- AIADMK chief Edappadi K. Palaniswami dismissed their unity as the work of the DMK’s ‘B-team’ and indicated that action, including expulsion of Sengottaiyan, could follow.
- Palaniswami denied any alliance talks with actor Vijay’s TVK and cited OPS’s alleged remark that DMK would return in 2026, which OPS later clarified as a conditional warning about disunity.
