AIADMK's ally PMK to go solo in rural civic polls in Tamil Nadu

AIADMK's ally PMK has walked out of the alliance to contest alone in the rural civic polls to nine districts on October 6 and 9.

All is not well with the AIADMK-led opposition alliance in Tamil Nadu. Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), one of the alliance partners, announced on Tuesday to contest the rural civic polls to nine districts on October 6 and 9 all alone.

The decision to contest alone was taken unanimously following a virtual meeting of party functionaries, including party founder-leader S Ramadoss and the party's youth wing chief Anbumani Ramadoss, on Tuesday.
