Addressing the media, TTV Dhinakaran said, "AMMK is coming out of the NDA Alliance, and we will announce our next course of action by December."
Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) chief TTV Dhinakaran said the BJP leaders had been in touch with them for the past six months and talks were on for about three months now.
The move comes after the agency recently arrested jailed 'conman' and another accused in this case, Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
Tamil Nadu Election Result 2021 | Kovilpatti constituency: The constituency witnesses a three-cornered contest, between TTV Dhinakaran, AIADMK Minister Kadambur Raju and CPI(M)’s K. Srinivasan.
Tamil Nadu Assembly Election Result 2021 Highlights: After nearly a decade MK Stalin is set to be the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The party was last in power when Stalin's father and DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi was Chief Minister. This is the first time both DMK and AIADMK went to the polls without the backing of their stalwarts K Karunanidhi and J Jayalalitha.
As part of the deal with the AMMK, the AIMIM has been allotted three Tamil Nadu seats with a significant Muslim population — Vaniyambadi, Sankarapuram and Krishnagiri. TTV Dhinakaran has said the AMMK would try and contest as many seats as possible.
TTV Dhinakaran’s efforts to ‘recapture’ the AIADMK from ‘traitors’ took a severe beating with VK Sasikala stepping aside from active politics and tacitly asking her supporters to back the AIADMK in the upcoming elections
Besides the CPI(M), DMK struck pacts with three local outfits, allotting them one seat each but they will contest on the Dravidian party's symbol in the April 6 assembly elections.
Not only has TTV lost the ‘Two Leaves’ symbol to the AIADMK, but it is not sure if he will be allotted the ‘Pressure Cooker’ symbol. The biggest blow, however, is that AMMK candidates will be treated as independents.
A bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi issued notice to the Election Commission of India (EC) on the limited plea of Dhinakaran that they be allowed to use common symbol of 'Pressure Cooker'.
A bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khana said the matter will be listed on March 15 before an appropriate bench as per the roster.
Asking the debarred MLAs and other Dhinakaran loyalists to revert to AIADMK, the top leadership asked them to "understand the reality" of the High Court judgement that upheld their disqualification
The verdict comes as a relief to the Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami government which was on a shaky ground and facing possible collapse
The court decision is likely to have widespread ramifications on Tamil Nadu politics. A favourable verdict for the Dhinakaran camp could leave the AIADMK government on shaky grounds
Rebel AIADMK leader Dhinakaran floated his new political party, the "Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam", named after late Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa.
In a stinging article as part of his weekly series in the latest issue of Tamil magazine 'Ananda Vikatan,' the veteran star described the bypoll, held due to the demise of former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, as a "stain" on Indian democracy.
Sidelined AIADMK leader T T V Dhinakaran took oath as a member of the Tamil Nadu assembly, days after he won the by-election to the RK Nagar constituency represented by late chief minister Jayalalithaa.
Dhinakaran, who won the December 21 bypoll trouncing nearest AIADMK rival by a margin of over 40,000 votes, said DMK appeared to have made "an arithmetic mistake" and was 'overconfident'.
The Election Commission had filed a police complaint saying the video release violated the model code and the Representation of People Act.
AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran camp MLAs have furnished an interim reply to Tamil Nadu Speaker P Dhanapal's notice which followed a plea by Government Chief Whip S Rajendran to disqualify them.
The meeting, which some of the party MLAs and MPs did not attend, also discussed the validity of the appointments made by Sasikala before going to jail in the Rs 66.6 crore disproportionate assets case, AIADMK sources said.
Asserting that his aim was to safeguard the party, he said the group (of his loyalist MLAs) was hopeful that Rao will "take a good decision."
The rival O Panneerselvam camp is also meeting separately here to discuss the future course of action, sources in the faction said.
