AIADMK Releases Second List of 127 Candidates for Tamil Nadu Polls; DMK Claims Internal Rift The AIADMK party on Thursday unveiled its second list of 127 candidates for the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, bringing its total number of contesting candidates to 150. The move has drawn immediate criticism from the DMK, which accused the party of internal divisions and alleged that the selections reveal a "shadow war" within the AIADMK leadership. The second list, which includes prominent figures from various regions of Tamil Nadu, marks a significant step in the state's electoral campaign. The party’s decision to finalize 127 candidates for the upcoming polls underscores its efforts to consolidate support across different constituencies. However, the DMK has seized on the announcement to highlight what it describes as a lack of unity within the AIADMK, suggesting that the party’s leadership is engaged in infighting that could weaken its electoral prospects. The DMK’s claim of internal rifts within the AIADMK comes amid heightened competition in the Tamil Nadu elections, where both major parties are vying for dominance. The party’s leader has accused the AIADMK of prioritizing personal interests over collective strategy, arguing that the selection process reflects a lack of coordination and transparency. This criticism is likely to intensify as the election campaign progresses, with both parties expected to intensify their efforts to mobilize voters. The AIADMK’s decision to release the second list also signals its readiness to face the challenges of the election season. With the state polls approaching, the party’s focus is expected to shift toward campaign strategies, voter outreach, and addressing key issues such as economic development and governance.#elections #aiadmk #dmk #tamil_nadu #shadow_war
