The political landscape of Tamil Nadu is heating up as the AIADMK accuses Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin of benefiting from 'dynastic politics.' AIADMK leader KP Munusamy derided the DMK's approach within the state, highlighting its family-centric governance structure.

Munusamy emphasized his party's commitment to democratic practices, contrasting AIADMK's leader selection process, which he claims is devoid of familial bias. Munusamy cited the leadership transitions following the deaths of party stalwarts M G Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa as evidence of AIADMK's democratic ethos.

The feud extends to speculations concerning the political future of BJP Tamil Nadu chief K Annamalai and actor Vijay's recently announced political ambitions. With these unfolding political narratives, both AIADMK and DMK are under the spotlight, scrutinizing their succession strategies and leadership principles.
