Akhilesh Yadav, the chief of the Samajwadi Party, criticized the Congress party for its abrupt decision to sever ties with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Tamil Nadu, emphasizing the importance of loyalty among political allies. His comments followed Congress's support for actor-politician Vijay’s Tamil Nadu Vanan Katchi (TVK) to form a government after the April 2023 Assembly elections resulted in a fractured mandate. The TVK emerged as the single largest party but does not have a majority in the 234-member Assembly, requiring support from smaller parties to secure governance. The Left parties and the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) hold pivotal positions in this political landscape, with ongoing discussions about their potential support for the TVK. The situation has also raised questions about the Governor's role in the formation of the government, with some leaders arguing that the TVK should be invited to govern as the largest party. This political shift marks a significant change in Tamil Nadu's political dynamics, challenging the long-standing dominance of the DMK and AIADMK.
