PMK founder S. Ramadoss has launched a sharp attack on Anbumani in a letter addressed to party cadres, saying the party’s “mango” symbol can no longer be trusted.

Ramadoss wrote that he has been enduring deep personal anguish for the past two years. He alleged that Anbumani ignored his words, buried his principles, and began pursuing money, leaving him feeling “dead as a father” even while alive.

Recalling his own sacrifices, Ramadoss said he had gone to jail and shed blood for the movement, but claimed that this legacy is now being turned into a “business” in the name of social justice.

He also warned that if Sowmiya wins in Dharmapuri, the district would quickly turn into “Adharmapuri,” and urged cadres to defeat what he called Anbumani’s “betrayal group.” Voting for them, he said, would be akin to throwing soil on one’s own father’s head.
