According to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), as of early 2024, Tamil Nadu’s unemployment rate stood at 5.2%, higher than the national average.
A senior functionary told TNIE that several women leaders assured Palaniswami of their support and urged him not to be concerned about leaders leaving the party.
Speaking to reporters after the governor’s address in the Assembly, Palaniswami said reports suggesting that Mithun was being prepared as his political successor are false.
According to party sources, Palaniswami said AIADMK’s inability to effectively use social media platforms was one of the reasons for its electoral setback.
