AIADMK's Anwar Raja Joins DMK Citing BJP Concerns

Anwar Raja Joins DMK, Presses BJP Critique

Former AIADMK MP Anwar Raja joined DMK citing concerns over BJP&rsquo;s influence and Hindi imposition. He accused AIADMK of weakening under BJP pressure.

AIADMK's organising secretary and former MP Anwar Raja, who is the minority face of the opposition party in Ramanathapuram, joined the DMK in the presence of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin here on Monday.
The strongman from Ramanathapuram, who has been critical of AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami since the party revived poll ties with the BJP, said he was left with no option but to join the DMK to protect Tamil Nadu from the threats, including Hindi imposition and state autonomy posed by the BJP-led government at the Centre.
Raja said, "The BJP's agenda is to destroy the AIADMK first and then fight against the DMK. Not even once Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that Palaniswami would be the Chief Minister candidate. He had only said that NDA would form the government in Tamil Nadu." Following the sudden political development, the AIADMK expelled Raja from the party. A party senior said the AIADMK would not face any set back because of Anwar Raja joining the ruling dispensation.
"AIADMK leader Palaniswami is unable to confirm that he is the CM candidate during his tour programme to redeem Tamil Nadu. Its only EPS (Palaniswami) who is claiming to be the CM candidate," Raja told reporters at Anna Arivalayam, the DMK state headquarters.
He and some former state ministers were of the view that the BJP's goal is not to contest the elections but only to destroy the Dravidian parties in the state.
"We already told Palaniswami that if the AIADMK forges alliance with the BJP, it will destroy the AIADMK like that party is doing in the non-BJP ruled states. See what's happening in West Bengal," he said.
The former MP alleged that the BJP was "a negative force" in Tamil Nadu and people would not accept it. "I had already appealed to AIADMK leaders to protect the party and there was no one to listen. So, with no alternative left, I had to join the DMK - the only choice for me." He claimed that "Thalapathi" (Stalin) would definitely become the CM again as people always voted based on their leaders' abilities since the times of former Chief Minister C N Annadurai.
"I wish to ask, is there any leader in Tamil Nadu who can equal Stalin, on whom people have reposed faith," he asked.
Whenever there was a threat to Tamil Nadu, Stalin, as an exemplary Chief Minister, approached the Supreme court and obtained orders in favour of the state.
Also, as a leader is unified the Chief Ministers of non-BJP ruled states and sharpened the defence of state interest against the BJP government. "People want him to return as Chief Minister. And people will give a massive victory to the DMK," Raja said.

The AIADMK party on February 23 released an Artificial intelligence-generated audio clip of iconic leader and Tamul Nadu's late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on her 76th birth anniversary.

Addressing members, Jayalalithaa's voice played out said:&nbsp;
"Hello. I&rsquo;m your J Jayalalithaa speaking. I express my gratitude to this technology, which gave me a chance to speak to you. Our party has seen many ups and downs. We have implemented many welfare schemes for women, students, etc when we were in power.
Now, on one hand, we have the Union government that&rsquo;s betraying us and, on the other, the state government is corrupt and useless. On the occasion of my birthday, what I&rsquo;m asking you is to ensure that AIADMK&rsquo;s 'people government' comes back.
Our cadres should stand in my path and I request you to strengthen the hands of brother Edapaddi K Palaniswami. We are because of people, and we are for the people.&rdquo;
&rdquo; She repeated her popular catchphrase: &ldquo;I am because of the people, I am for the people&rdquo; (Makkalal naan, makkalukkagave naan).
Palaniswami also released the party&rsquo;s election slogan: "Let's reclaim Tamil rights, Let's save Tamil Nadu,&rdquo; on the occasion.&nbsp;

AIADMK leadership tussle: OPS sacked over 'anti-party activities', EPS becomes new boss

Both EPS and OPS have been embroiled in a bitter war to claim the legacy of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa since her death in 2017.&nbsp;

The dual-leadership crisis plaguing AIADMK--the principal opposition party in Tamil Nadu--was resolved after Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) was on Monday elected as its interim general secretary and former deputy chief minister O Paneerselvam (OPS) was ousted from all party posts.
Other senior leaders and OPS supporters: JCD Prabhakar, R Vaithilingam, and PH Manoj Pandian were also expelled from the party.&nbsp;
The decision was taken during a general council meeting which took place after the Madras high court rejected OPS' plea seeking stay on the meet called by the faction led by EPS.
OPS, who was expelled for alleged "anti-party" activities and for cozying up to the rival DMK regime, reportedly said that he will move court against the decision.&nbsp;
The AIADMK General Council cited difficulty in decision-making and discontentment among party cadre as the reason behind scrapping the posts of Coordinator and Joint Coordinator, held by OPS and EPS, respectively.&nbsp;

AIADMK Coordinator O Panneerselvam on Thursday walked out of the party's General Council meeting here after it stuck to the single leadership demand and favoured his rival and party Joint Coordinator Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS).
As EPS was honoured with a decorated crown, a sword and sceptre by supporters amid chants favouring him, OPS along with his supporters including Deputy Secretary R Vaithilingam moved out of the hall and left the premises. The GC meet, that witnessed chaotic scenes was over within 40 minutes after it started.
B Valarmathi, a senior office-bearer and a former Minister sung a song from party founder M G Ramachandran's movie and said, 'a leader will emerge' apparently hailing EPS. The GC meet, which stuck to the one and only demand of making EPS the supreme party leader, turned out to be a full show of strength of the Palaniswami camp with OPS followers heavily outnumbered.
OPS, as Panneerselvam is known, was seated close to EPS on the dais when the GC burst into the single leadership chorus. The party announced that the GC would again meet on July 11. PTI VGN SA SA

The Madras High Court on Thursday ruled no unannounced resolutions could be taken up at the meeting of the AIADMK General and Executive councils, restraining the camp led by Joint Co-ordinator Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) from initiating any such move over the possible single leadership issue.
The meeting of the main opposition party's General Council, its highest decision-making body, and the Executive is slated at a marriage hall in Vanagaram.
In a late night hearing that stretched till early Thursday, a special division bench of Justices M Duraiswamy and Sundar Mohan granted the relief to party co-ordinator O Panneerselvam at a special sitting at the senior judge's residence at Anna Nagar in the city, on an appeal against a single judge order.
As per the latest order of the bench, the meeting can take place as scheduled and the already decided 23 resolutions can be taken up and adopted. No other new resolutions touching upon making amendment to party bye-laws to abolish Co-ordinator and Joint Co-ordinator posts and restoring the general secretary post to pave way for single leadership, shall be taken up.
It was a day of events providing contrasting jubilation to party leaders and their cadres. Around 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Justice Krishnan Ramaswamy, in his brief order, permitted the conduct of the meet, but refrained from restraining the EPS group from taking up any other fresh resolutions, which would ultimately result in unitary leadership.
The aggrieved group met Chief Justice M N Bhandari and obtained his permission to prefer an appeal against the order of the single judge. The CJ nominated Justice Duraiswamy and Sundar Mohan as the judges to make a special sitting and hear the appeal.
Accordingly, the bench sat at the senior judge's residence and commenced the hearing around 1 am and passed its orders around 4 am today, which effectively led to joy and jubilation in the OPS camp.
The internal rumblings of the AIADMK over the single leadership issue, with a majority of district secretaries and others favouring EPS to take over the mantle had prompted Panneerselvam to write to the former seeking deferring today's meet, even as speculations were rife that the GC and EC could discuss the matter to effect the unitary leadership

The Tamil Nadu police on Wednesday declined to entertain a petition submitted by AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam urging them to deny permission to the party General and Executive Council meetings scheduled to be held here on June 23.
Underscoring law and order concerns in view of serious differences over the single leadership question within the party, Panneerselvam had on Tuesday urged the Avadi Police Commissionerate to deny permission for the meeting.
Asked if the plea was being considered, a top official said the applicant has been told that his request was beyond the scope of police as the meeting was slated to be held indoors.
"Whether to conduct the meeting or not is for the party to decide. We are fully following the High Court orders in this respect. We are geared up to provide security, strictly maintain law and order and ensure peace," a senior police official told PTI.
"We are also planning traffic management. Some petitions, related to holding the party meeting, are also before civil courts and the subject is sub judice," the police official said.
The Madras High Court had on Tuesday directed police protection for the AIADMK meeting.
OPS, as Panneerselvam is known, had written to the Avadi Police Commissionerate requesting that permission must not be accorded to hold the AIADMK meeting on June 23 at a hall in suburban Vanagaram considering the need to maintain law and order.
He had said party office-bearer and former minister Pa Benjamin seeking security for the meet was a 'unilateral decision'.
Only the AIADMK Coordinator (OPS) and Joint Coordinator (Edappadi K Palaniswami-EPS) are empowered in this regard, he had said in his plea.
OPS is fighting the EPS camp, which is determined to scrap the current dual leadership system and make EPS as the single, supreme leader of the AIADMK.
