C.Ve. Shanmugam Defends His Factions Support for TVK Following AIADMK Split

The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) was founded in 1972 with the primary objective of opposing the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party in Tamil Nadu. This political rivalry has historically shaped the states political landscape. Additionally, the AIADMKs stance toward the Tamilaga Bhasha Sangam (TVK) has aligned with its foundational goal of contesting the influence and policies of the DMK. The persistence of this rivalry continues to play a critical role in Tamil Nadus political dynamics, influencing electoral strategies and party alliances.
