All India Latchiya Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam

All India Latchiya Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (All Indian Ideal Dravidian Progressive Federation) is a political party in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu launched by Tamil film maker T.Rajendar in April 2004.[1] The party was formed as a result of T. Rajendar's expulsion from Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.

During a previous stint, T.Rajendar has formed another political party named Thayaga Marumalarchi Kazhagam in 1991 after he was being expelled from Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). The party contested in 11 seats in the 1991 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections and won in 2 of them. In 1996, Rajendar's TMK merged with the DMK and in 2004, he has left the DMK party again to form the political party 'All India Latchiya Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam'.
