Former AIADMK Minister P. Benjamin joins DMK

Former AIADMK Minister P. Benjamin has officially joined the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party. Benjamin, who previously served as a minister in the AIADMK government, made the switch on Tuesday. His move signifies a significant political development in Tamil Nadu's political landscape. The former minister's decision comes after a period of internal turmoil and leadership changes within the AIADMK. Benjamin's induction into the DMK is expected to bolster the ruling party's presence in his home district.

This defection highlights the ongoing political realignments and shifts in party loyalties within Tamil Nadu, potentially impacting future electoral outcomes.
