AIADMK former Minister A Anwhar Raajhaa joins DMK

Meanwhile, in a major political development ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) former Minister and MP A Anwhar Raajhaa on Monday joined Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in the presence of DMK President and Chief Minister MK Stalin at Chennai Anna Arivalayam.

AIADMK expelled him from the party again when he reached DMK HQ, Anna Arivalayam, on Monday.

This move comes after Raajhaa’s consistent criticism of the AIADMK’s alliance with the BJP, which he believes will harm the party’s interests in Tamil Nadu.

‘BJP’s agenda is to destroy the AIADMK’

He expressed concerns over the BJP’s growing influence in Tamil Nadu politics and the potential damage it could cause to the AIADMK. He emphasised that the BJP’s agenda is to destroy the AIADMK and then fight against the DMK.

Anwhar Raajhaa, addressing the press after joining DMK, Raajhaa pointed out that Union Minister Amit Shah mentioned the NDA coalition forming the government but didn’t specify Edappadi Palaniswami as the CM candidate, indicating a potential rift within the alliance.
