OPS, T.T.V. Dhinakaran, and Sengottaiyan Reunion Creates Buzz in AIADMK Circles
A surprising political moment unfolded during the Guru Pooja of Muthuramalinga Thevar, as three major figures of Tamil Nadu politics — O. Panneerselvam (OPS), T.T.V. Dhinakaran, and K.A. Sengottaiyan — were seen together, sparking wide speculation about a possible reunion within the AIADMK faction.
According to reports, OPS and Sengottaiyan traveled together in the same car to the Guru Pooja event, where they later joined Dhinakaran. The sight of these former AIADMK heavyweights together immediately triggered conversations across the political landscape of Tamil Nadu.
Observers note that this meeting marks the first public appearance of these leaders together after years of internal rifts and leadership disputes within the AIADMK. With party unity and leadership strength being key issues in the opposition camp, this gathering has been interpreted by many as an attempt to rebuild bridges and explore future alliances.
Political analysts believe that the reunion, if it continues beyond ceremonial appearances, could significantly reshape Tamil Nadu’s political equations ahead of upcoming elections. While there has been no official statement from any of the leaders regarding a political comeback or alliance, the symbolism of their joint appearance has certainly caught the attention of cadres and the public alike.
Party insiders suggest that OPS’s move may be aimed at consolidating support from old allies and reclaiming his position as a unifying figure among traditional AIADMK loyalists. Dhinakaran, who currently leads the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK), has also expressed in recent interviews his openness to political cooperation for the benefit of the state’s governance.
The Guru Pooja event, held annually in honor of Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar, has often been a politically charged occasion where leaders across parties pay their respects. This year, it has unexpectedly turned into a stage for what many see as a possible new chapter in Tamil Nadu’s opposition politics.
As supporters continue to share the reunion photos across social media, one message is clear — Tamil Nadu politics might be on the brink of another significant realignment.
