Padayatchiyar was unsure over the choice of alliances. However, initially, he was highly skeptical of the [[Indian National Congress]] and criticized the Commonweal Party for establishing an alliance with the Congress.<ref name="modernity_of_traditionp56">{{cite book | title=The Modernity of Tradition: political development in India| url=https://archive.org/details/modernityoftradi00rudo| url-access=registration| last=I.

Rajagopalachari]] resigned as the Chief Minister of Madras state. He proposed negotiations with Rajaji's successor [[K.

During the 1962 elections, Padayatchiyar quit the Congress and revived the Tamil Nadu Toilers Party. He concluded an alliance with the [[Swatantra Party]] and contested the elections as an ally of the Swarajya Party. However, Tamil Nadu Toilers Party performed poorly in the 1962 elections and Padayatchiyar himself lost his seat.<ref name="modernity_of_traditionp90">{{cite book | title=The Modernity of Tradition: political development in India| url=https://archive.org/details/modernityoftradi00rudo| url-access=registration| last=I.
