Amid growing factionalism within the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and a series of resignations by rebel legislators, Hosur MLA P Balakrishna Reddy on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, extended support to party general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) by submitting an apology letter. The move comes as the party faces internal turmoil, with several MLAs resigning from party positions.
According to reports, Reddy's apology was seen as an attempt to mend ties with the leadership after earlier dissent. The letter was submitted at the party headquarters in Chennai, signaling a potential de-escalation of the crisis. However, the exact details of the apology and the reasons for his earlier rebellion were not immediately disclosed.
The AIADMK has been grappling with internal divisions, with some MLAs aligning with rival factions. Reddy's decision to back EPS is viewed as a boost for the general secretary, who is working to consolidate support ahead of upcoming elections. The party has not officially commented on the development.
