Sengottaiyan was expelled last week from party’s primary membership, two months after his 10-day deadline to the leadership to unite all breakaway factions sparked a row.
The veteran MLA had pitched a 10-day deadline, urging party leadership to bring together all estranged leaders to make the party stronger for the 2026 TN polls.
The chief minister will be from the AIADMK, Amit Shah has said in an interview. But, he did not name General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami as the CM candidate.
BJP, AIADMK have revived alliance ahead of TN polls. Ground realities have forced rethink on strategy for how EPS-led party can convince voters to look beyond opposition to BJP's policies.
EPS has been accused of links with a 2017 heist-murder at Jayalalithaa's estate. Madras HC has now slapped a fine on the main suspect's brother for his statements linking EPS to the case.

Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
Sengottaiyan was the primary channel of corruption for Jayalalitha and Sasikala from 1996-2001. Vijay is openly admitting that he doesn’t care about corruption by admitting Sengottaiyan and any hope for a fight against corruption is dead.
