• AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) criticized TVK chief Vijay, blaming him for a stampede at a Karur rally that killed 41 people.
• EPS's remarks came hours after Vijay's father, SA Chandrashekar, hinted that TVK might support Congress in the upcoming Assembly elections.
• Chandrashekar appealed to Congress to ally with TVK, stating Vijay is ready to help Congress regain its past glory in Tamil Nadu.
• EPS contrasted Vijay's acting popularity with his own political experience, emphasizing the loss of lives at Vijay's event.
• EPS also ruled out reinducting O Panneerselvam (OPS) into AIADMK, despite OPS expressing willingness to rejoin for party unity.
