S.P. Velumani | From loyalist to rebel
S.P. Velumani, a former Tamil Nadu Local Administration Minister, has turned against Edappadi K. Palaniswami, the current general secretary of the AIADMK. Velumani's political rise was aided by figures like V.K. Sasikala and Ravanan, who were influential in the party during Jayalalithaa's tenure. After a period of supporting Palaniswami, Velumani now leads a rebellion against him, citing dissatisfaction with the AIADMK's performance in recent elections. The outcome of this political rift remains to be seen.
