CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu's key opposition AIADMK's general body met on Sunday and passed 26 resolutions, several of which were against the ruling DMK government, besides resolving to make Edappadi Palaniswami (EPS) chief minister again in 2026 when the state will have its assembly elections.

During the meeting, the party also urged the Union government to ensure devolution of funds to Tamil Nadu without partiality and to not go ahead with tungsten mining in Madurai. Leader of opposition and general secretary of the party, Edappadi K Palaniswami, announced that he would go on a statewide tour from January 2025.

EPS said that an alliance would be formed ahead of the election that is of interest to the party and beneficial for the people.

Attacking the DMK, he said: "DMK is a scientifically corrupt party. Is a car race (Formula 4) needed for Tamil Nadu? DMK is a party for the rich, not for the poor. So far, more than 50 committees were formed by the government, but there has been no outcome from any committee."

"For the past one year, all government officials from different departments, teachers are protesting. Inflation is sky-high. All prices have increased," the opposition leader said at the general council.
