The Congress party has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) of working together to block TVK chief Vijay from forming a secular government in Tamil Nadu. Congress leader Praveen Chakravarty stated that the BJP aims to prevent TVK from gaining support from other opposition parties. Meanwhile, the DMK has taken steps to distance itself from Congress by requesting separate seating arrangements in the Lok Sabha, marking a significant shift in their alliance. DMK parliamentary leader Kanimozhi Karunanidhi expressed that their alliance with Congress has ended, thus necessitating this change. Additionally, the Tamil Nadu Governor has placed conditions on TVK regarding the formation of a minority government, requiring a list of support from 118 MLAs before extending an invitation to form the government. This political maneuvering highlights the intensifying battle for power in Tamil Nadu as parties reassess their alliances.
