Sasikala Unveils AIADMK Breakaway Party

Weeks after announcing the creation of her political faction, expelled AIADMK leader V K Sasikala revealed the name of her new organization on Friday—All India Puratchi Thalaivar Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam.

The announcement coincides with the birth anniversary of the late AIADMK leader J Jayalalithaa, for whom Sasikala was a close confidante. The party flag was officially unveiled at Kamuthi, located in the Ramanathapuram district.

Sasikala also introduced the party symbol, a 'coconut grove,' which she says represents the unity she has always championed. She stated that the party plans to contest the upcoming Assembly election in an alliance.
