TN Assembly polls | Puthiya Tamilagam not in our alliance, DMDK’s exit won’t affect us, says Palaniswami

AIADMK leader and Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniwami on Saturday said the Puthiya Tamilagam (PT), which was in the forefront of the agitation to classify seven Dalit sub-sects under the common title ‘Devendrakula Velalar’ and to be delisted from the Schedule, has left the ruling alliance. “The PT is not part of our alliance. They left the alliance earlier itself,” said Mr Palaniswami, who had all along maintained that the alliance formed by the AIADMK for the last Lok Sabha polls would continue for the Assembly election.
