Former minister ‘Thoppu’ Venkatachalam has been removed from the post of DMK’s Erode central district secretary. The decision was announced on Saturday by DMK general secretary Duraimurugan, marking a notable leadership change in the party’s district-level structure.
The move puts the focus on the DMK’s organization in Erode, where district secretary roles are important to party coordination and local political management. With Venkatachalam no longer in the position, attention is likely to shift to how the party handles its next administrative steps in the district.
The available details do not indicate the reason for the removal, and no further official explanation was immediately clear from the brief announcement. Still, the development stands out because Venkatachalam is a former minister and a known political figure in the region.
The change adds to ongoing interest in internal party decisions within Tamil Nadu politics, especially when they involve senior leaders and key district posts. For the DMK in Erode, the announcement signals an important adjustment in its local leadership setup.
