After OPS, AMMK leader TTV walks out of NDA bloc

The New Indian Express

|

September 04, 2025

Five months after AIADMK and the BJP-led NDA renewed their ties for facing the 2026 Assembly elections, the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) led by TTV Dhinakaran snapped ties with NDA on Wednesday.

The decision, announced by Dhinakaran during an interaction with the media on Wednesday at Kattumannarkoil in Cuddalore district, came a month after former CM O Panneerselvam's AIADMK Cadres Rights Retrieval Committee (ACRRC) snapped ties with NDA. The two were with NDA for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, prior to which AIADMK had exited the alliance.

The exit of AMMK came a day ahead of AIADMK's senior leader KA Sengottaiyan's anticipated meeting on Friday, where he is expected to pitch for strengthening AIADMK by bringing back expelled leaders like Dhinakaran and Panneerselvam.
