Palaniswami calls for unity, commitment among cadres as AIADMK enters 55th year
Even though several political rivals and traitors attempted to work against the party over the past five decades, he said that the AIADMK marched ahead with the massive support of its cadres
Edappadi K. Palaniswami, AIADMK General Secretary, addressed a press meet at the party office in Omalur, Salem district, Tamil Nadu on October 14, 2026, calling for unity and commitment among cadres as the party celebrates its 55th year. Despite previous attempts by political rivals and traitors, Palaniswami emphasized that the AIADMK has moved forward with the strong support of its cadres, overcoming various challenges.
He highlighted that the party secured over 1.35 crore votes and won 47 seats in the 2026 Assembly elections, despite the influence of glamour-driven politics. Palaniswami criticized the ruling TDP government for engaging in "horse trading" and deteriorating law and order, stating that their focus should be on resolving people's challenges instead of attempting to weaken the AIADMK.
He reminded the cadres of the party's founding principles, inspired by late leaders M.G. Ramachandran and Jayalalithaa, and the party's achievements, which have benefited the people of Tamil Nadu over the years.
