The AIADMK is facing an internal crisis as a 10-day deadline set by senior leader K.K. Sengottaiyan for party general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) to initiate party unification efforts has expired. Sengottaiyan's ultimatum followed meetings with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, where he urged their intervention to bring back breakaway AIADMK leaders.
EPS's upcoming visit to Delhi on September 16th has fuelled speculation of a potential meeting with Amit Shah to discuss party unity and strategies for the 2026 assembly elections. Despite Sengottaiyan's deadline, EPS maintains that the AIADMK remains united. The situation remains unresolved, leaving the future of the party uncertain.
