Actor-turned-politician M.G. Ramachandran founded the Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (ADMK) in 1972 after being expelled from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) for leveling corruption allegations against the party leadership, especially then-Tamil Nadu chief minister Muthuvel Karunanidhi. In 1976 Ramachandran renamed the party the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).
