PMK rift: Can Anbumani sideline Dr Ramadoss so easily? | Sivapriyan Interview | TNM Tamil |

Has the rift between Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founder Dr S Ramadoss and his son Dr Anbumani Ramadoss reached a point of no return? This is the latest buzz within the PMK and Tamil Nadu’s political circles after Ramadoss launched a scathing attack on his son on Thursday, May 29. Ramadoss accused Anbumani of forcing him to align with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said making him a minister in the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) in 2004 was a big mistake. Ramadoss’s outburst at a press conference, where he levelled serious allegations against Anbumani Ramadoss and his wife Sowmiya Anbumani, has given rise to speculation that the PMK is heading for a split. In this week’s Yen Endra Kelvi, Shabbir Ahmed discusses with Senior journalist Sivapriyan about the widening rift between Dr Ramadoss and Anbumani Ramadoss in PMK and its impact on the party.
