Akhilesh Yadav (chief of the Samajwadi Party) expressed concerns over the unity of the INDIA alliance following Congress' unexpected decision to end its alliance with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Tamil Nadu. Congress announced its support for the Tamil Nadu-based party, TVK, which emerged as the largest party in the recent assembly elections, raising questions about the stability of opposition unity. Yadav's social media post, which emphasized solidarity in difficult times, was interpreted as a critique of Congress's actions. The DMK has accused Congress of 'backstabbing' at a crucial moment, and the BJP has seized the opportunity to predict the collapse of the opposition alliance. Despite these tensions, no other allies in the INDIA bloc have publicly commented on the future of their coalition.
