Ever since the political infighting within AIADMK as well as the tug-o-war for the party's symbol and headquarters began, things have been going downhill for shopkeepers selling AIADMK merchandise. Outside the AIADMK headquarters and at all their events, a large number of small scale shopkeepers sell MGR and Jaya pictures, key chains, rings, chains and other interesting goods. Though lately the sale of these goods has gone down drastically, today was a happy day for the merchandise vendors. AIADMK cadres pose with customised fans, shirts and keychains that are emblazoned with pictures of the party's matriarch. Vendors show off their Amma merchandise that they intend to sell near Jaya memorial.
