A DMK councillor in Coimbatore resigns from the party, alleging internal pressure related to “party fund” contributions. Kovai Babu Selvakumar, who represents ward 22 and also serves as a DMK organiser in the Coimbatore North district for the NRI wing, submits his resignation to the district secretary, Senthamil Selvan. In his resignation, Selvakumar says he is cutting ties as a primary member. He also characterizes the party’s functioning as resembling a “monarchy and capitalism,” linking the allegation to what he describes as coercive pressure to pay. The report presents the resignation as Selvakumar’s claim of how the party operates internally, but it does not include a response from DMK officials or corroborating details on the “party fund” allegation. The development adds to local political attention around party discipline and fund-related expectations within party structures, as described by the councillor who has stepped down from his roles.
