Prominent dissidents left out of AIADMK’s bypoll campaign programmes
AIADMK’s schedule for the upcoming by‑elections leaves out several prominent party dissidents. The official roster of star campaigners lists 13 sitting legislators, including general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami, but omits the dissenting figures. Critics argue the exclusion may hurt the party’s appeal to some voters, while supporters claim the lineup underscores loyalty to the leadership.
