Meanwhile, during the two-day interaction with district secretaries, Palaniswami also held discussions about Rajya Sabha seat allocation with senior leaders. Sources said the AIADMK functionaries did not relish the way Premalatha put forth her demand on Thursday. However, the AIADMK is expected to take a decision keeping in mind its plan to forge a strong alliance for the 2026 Assembly election.

The names of several leaders, including S Semmalai, D Jayakumar, party’s presidium chairman Thamizhmagan Hussain, party deputy propaganda secretary Vindhya and N Sadhan Prabhakar from Ramanathapuram district were doing the rounds for the RS seats.

AIADMK sources said Palaniswami, during the two-day-long discussions with secretaries of 82 party districts along with their in-charges, repeatedly told them to complete the strengthening of booth committees by June 15. He explained in detail that strong booth committees were the pillar of the party’s victory at the hustings. Sources said Palaniswami told the functionaries that he would be monitoring the progress made in this regard regularly.
