The Pattali Makkal Katchi (S. Ramadoss) (transl. Proletarian People's Party (S. Ramadoss); abbreviated as PMK (S. Ramadoss)) is a splinter faction of the regional political party Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), based in Tamil Nadu. It is currently led by founder Dr. S. Ramadoss, who founded the original PMK that is currently led by his son, Anbumani. The faction emerged in 2025 after a major leadership conflict between Ramadoss and his son, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss, over control of the party. While the Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued communications recognising Anbumani’s camp, the Ramadoss faction rejects these claims, insisting that procedural norms were violated and that Anbumani’s term as president expired in May 2025.
