PMK walks out of AIADMK-led alliance

PMK exited the AIADMK-led front on Tuesday night, announcing unilaterally that it would go it alone in the rural local bodies elections, scheduled for October 6 and 9, in nine districts. It allied with the AIADMK for the 2019 Lok Sabha election and the 2021 Assembly election.

PMK president G.K. Mani said in a statement that at a virtual meeting, it was “unanimously” decided to go it alone, “considering the party’s interests”. Party founder S. Ramadoss and Youth Wing leader Anbumani Ramadoss endorsed the decision. The party would receive applications for nomination on September 15 and 16.
