TVK win splits Tamil Nadu alliances: DMK slams Congress support, AIADMK shows internal rift
The Tamil Nadu unit of the Congress has decided to extend support to actor-turned-politician Vijay's TVK to form a 'secular government' in the state, sparking a reaction from its former ally DMK. The decision has led to a rift in the DMK alliance and also exposed internal divisions within the AIADMK.
The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) victory in the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections has divided the opposition alliances in the state. The Congress has decided to support TVK to form a 'secular government', despite opposition from its former ally DMK. The DMK has criticized the Congress decision, calling it 'backstabbing' and questioning its timing and implications. The AIADMK also appears divided over extending support to TVK, with over two-thirds of its MLAs gathering to signal support for Vijay. TVK has lodged its 108 newly elected MLAs at a hotel in Chengalpattu and continues negotiations with other parties to secure the required numbers. The post-poll landscape in Tamil Nadu remains fluid, with multiple negotiations underway and alliances being recalibrated rapidly.
