PMK Father-Son Reunion in Tamil Nadu Politics

A significant development took place in Tamil Nadu politics as Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) president Anbumani Ramadoss met his father and party founder S. Ramadoss amid ongoing internal differences within the party. Anbumani stated that he visited his father at their family residence in Thailapuram near Thindivanam in Villupuram district to convey wedding anniversary greetings.

The meeting comes after a long standing leadership dispute that surfaced in December 2024 between the father and son, leading to a split within the party. In the recent elections, two PMK factions contested separately, with Anbumani’s faction aligned with the NDA winning four seats, while the other faction joined a separate alliance led by V. K. Sasikala.
