This special report covers the AIADMK's political campaign against the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu, led by General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami. The party is using controversial banners to question the state's law and order following the alleged gang-rape of a college student in Coimbatore. The banners prominently ask, 'Is Tamil Nadu safe for women? You decide.' This move has drawn sharp criticism as the AIADMK has erected these banners illegally, obstructing public platforms in violation of court orders against such 'banner culture'. The report highlights the irony of the situation, given that a woman named Subhasri was tragically killed in Chennai in 2019 after an illegal AIADMK banner fell on her. The developments unfold amidst an ongoing internal power struggle within the AIADMK, following the expulsion of senior leaders.
