AIADMK cadre turned up in large numbers to welcome the party’s general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami in Gobichettipalayam, the home turf of rebel leader K.A. Sengottaiyan, on Tuesday (September 23, 2025) morning. He was en route to the Nilgiris for his Makkalai Kaappom, Tamizhagathai Meetpom campaign.
This was his first visit to the constituency after the removal of Mr. Sengottaiyan, who is the Gobichettipalayam MLA, from his posts of organisation secretary and secretary of the Erode Suburban (West) district unit of the party. Mr. Sengottaiyan had been removed following his ultimatum to the party leadership on September 5 to initiate steps to readmit those who had left the AIADMK.
