All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam
The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) is a regional political party in the union territory of Puducherry.
AIADMK is a dravidian party founded by M G Ramachandran (MGR) at Madurai on 17 October 1972 as a breakaway faction of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.
In Puducherry, the AIADMK allied with N Rangaswamy's All India NR Congress (AINRC) and won the 2011 assembly election, which was held in parallel with the Tamil Nadu assembly election. However, it did not join the newly elected AINRC-led government. The AIADMK's good electoral performance continued in the 2014 Lok Sabha election.
The headquarters of the party is called Amma Anbu Maaligai, which is located at Avvai Shanmugam Salai, Royapettah, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The building was donated to the party in 1986 by VN Janaki Ramachandran, MGR's wife.
J Jayalalithaa was known as the 'Mother of AIADMK' and was highly popular among the Tamil populace until her death in 2016.
Under Jayalalithaa's regime, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam spread beyond Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. State units are established in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala. The party floated 29 candidates across the state of Kerala in the 2006 assembly election and had contested on its own.
