Coimbatore, July 2, 2025: Ahead of the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami initiated a series of campaign activities in the city of Coimbatore. The day began with a significant event as Palaniswami took a one-hour morning walk at the Race Course, interacting with the public and highlighting the party's decade-long development projects in the area.

During his walk, Palaniswami engaged with the public for several minutes, discussing various developmental initiatives and the party's plans for industrial rejuvenation. This interactive session underscored the party's commitment to community engagement and local development. After the walk, Palaniswami returned to the Taj Vivanta Hotel, where he plans to continue his election campaign in the evening.

The campaign launch comes as AIADMK is preparing to challenge the ruling DMK government in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Palaniswami has been vocal about his call for unity among like-minded parties to defeat the DMK government, which he describes as "anti-people." He has expressed openness to forming alliances with any party that opposes the DMK, including actor Vijay's newly launched Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), despite the latter's earlier declaration of going solo.

AIADMK's stance on potential alliances with TVK and other opposition parties highlights the party's strategic approach to the upcoming elections. Despite TVK's decision to contest independently, AIADMK remains committed to its alliance strategy and stands firm against the DMK government. Palaniswami has emphasized that each party will criticize the others, which is a normal part of political dynamics.

The AIADMK campaign is set to begin from Coimbatore on July 7, covering eight districts in the first phase. Alongside the campaign logo 'Makkalai Kaappom, Thamizhagathai Meetpom' (Let's Protect the People, Let's Redeem Tamil Nadu), the party has also released a campaign song to energize its cadre. Palaniswami has expressed confidence in AIADMK's ability to return to power, stating that the campaign aims to reflect the flaws and failures of the DMK government and to bring about significant change.

The campaign activities, including Palaniswami's morning walk and his plans for the evening, demonstrate AIADMK's proactive approach to electioneering. The party's focus on community engagement and development initiatives is likely to resonate with voters, particularly in areas where the party has a strong track record of delivering on promises.
