Mani Shankar Aiyar, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress, has publicly criticized the party's recent alliance with the Tamil Nadu-based TVK (Tamil Nadu Vikas Katchi), which has recently gained significant electoral success. He described the decision as 'dreadful' and indicative of 'low political opportunism', arguing that it violates Mahatma Gandhi's principle of governance based on morality. Aiyar pointed out that despite Congress's support, the TVK failed to secure a majority, leading to a hung assembly situation. He expressed concerns about the future implications of this alliance, particularly regarding the potential rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Tamil Nadu. The DMK, which has historically been a partner of Congress, has labeled this move as 'backstabbing'. Aiyar emphasized that the Congress's recent electoral success was largely due to its long-standing partnership with the DMK, and he questioned the party's moral standing in future electoral alliances.
