AIADMK leadership under pressure after bypoll losses ahead of Foundation Day

AIADMK's poor showing in Madurantakam and Dharapuram bypolls has weakened Edappadi K. Palaniswami's position, with internal detractors expected to challenge his leadership around the party's Foundation Day on October 17. The outcome signals continued electoral decline for the party in Tamil Nadu, though the immediate political fallout remains uncertain.
