· India · The Hindu, Hindustan Times
AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami urged party cadres to remain united and committed as the party enters its 55th year. In a four-page open letter from Chennai on October 16, 2026, he emphasized that the party overcame political rivals and traitors over five decades through cadre support. Palaniswami cited the AIADMK alliance's 1.35 crore votes and 47 seats in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections as proof of its enduring public clout. He criticized the ruling TVK for alleged 'horse-trading' and deteriorating law and order, asserting the AIADMK's foundation on principles rather than power.
