Overview
- Singai G. Ramachandran posted his resignation on X relinquishing all party posts and saying certain developments in the party caused him deep disappointment and emotional pain.
- He quit hours after taking part in a Chennai district meeting where participants say he was repeatedly asked to wind up his remarks.
- Reports note the meeting was chaired by AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami and that senior leaders S. P. Velumani and N. R. Viswanathan were absent from a separate head-office meeting.
- Ramachandran thanked Palaniswami for past support even as he criticized unnamed recent decisions, and no formal party disciplinary action or remedial response has been reported.
- A long-time organiser who rose through the party’s student and IT wings and who was a last-minute 2024 parliamentary candidate, Ramachandran’s exit highlights unit-level strains that could affect local mobilisation and party cohesion.
