The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) is facing one of its deepest internal crises since the Jayalalithaa era, with growing rebellion threatening a formal split within the party. Rebel leaders could challenge Edappadi K. Palaniswami for control over the party structure and even the iconic "Two Leaves" symbol if the rift escalates further. Another possible scenario being discussed is a political realignment, where anti-EPS factions may align with Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, potentially strengthening Chief Minister Vijay politically.
