V K Sasikala, leader of the All India Progressive Tamil Maanavar Katchi (AIPTMMK), criticized Edappadi K Palaniswami, the AIADMK general secretary, during her campaign in Rajapalayam, Tamil Nadu. She condemned his 'indecent' remarks against opposition leaders, particularly referencing a rally where Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin showcased footage of Palaniswami falling at her feet. Sasikala questioned Palaniswami's conduct, stating, 'Instead of correcting himself and remaining loyal to those who gave him his position, he is wishing for the death of others.' She expressed concerns over his ability to govern the state, highlighting that such behavior reflects low standards for a former Chief Minister and party leader. As the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections approach, Sasikala's comments underscore the intense political rivalry in the state.
