In the aftermath of the recent elections, Congress leaders in Tamil Nadu are reconsidering their choice not to align with the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor C. Joseph Vijay. Reports indicate that TVK's debut has resonated strongly in urban areas, prompting discussions among Congress members about the potential benefits of such an alliance. Many insiders suggest that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who notably did not share the stage with Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, may have recognized a unique opportunity to revitalize the Congress party in Tamil Nadu. Despite this, the party ultimately decided to remain within the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance, a decision that is now under scrutiny as leaders reflect on the implications of their choices for the party's future in the state.
