The ADMK's decision to contest in the polls has come after GK Vasan's Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC) had made its mind to forgo the seat in the best interest of the ADMK-led alliance.

The Law Commission has asked ADMK for its feedback and within days of its letter, ADMK's Edappadi Palaniswami has come out with a strong support for One Nation, One Election policy. 

Tensions unfolded in the assembly since the Governor began his address and the rivals EPS and OPS grabbed a sharp attention from across the state as they were seen together, in a hand reach.

Through its plan, the ADMK has aimed to roll out its official campaign for the general election, which is just one year away. 

Though their leadership crisis is before the Supreme Court, the notice has further divided both the factions with giving no sight of political consensus. 

Radhakrishnan contested in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls from the Virudhunagar constituency under the leadership of the then ADMK's supremo J Jayalalithaa.

Edappadi Palaniswami and the ADMK functionaries were staging a protest in Valluvar Kottam in Chennai for condemning what they called a murder of democracy in the state.

Ayyadurai was previously the CEO of one of Gujarat's top power generation companies and is from Shankarankovil in the Tenkasi district. Even though the AIADMK extended numerous invitations, Ayyadurai Pandyan joined the DMK in 2018.

The latest order in favour of EPS has also bestowed the tag of legality on the ADMK's General Council meeting that was held on July 11.

While both the leaders are hoping to have support from their community, the latest trouble that Sasikala is facing would put OPS in a setback, again.
