Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam's aggressive expansion drive is intensifying political churn in Tamil Nadu. After several prominent AIADMK leaders switched allegiance to Vijay's party, TVK minister Aadhav Arjuna has claimed that nearly 90% of AIADMK functionaries are ready to join the actor-turned-politician's camp. The developments come amid growing questions over Edappadi K. Palaniswami's leadership following successive electoral setbacks. While TVK sees the defections as a sign of changing political winds, AIADMK has dismissed the claims, accusing rivals of engineering a "horse-trading" operation ahead of the next electoral battle.
