In a significant political development in Tamil Nadu, the Congress party has pledged its support to actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), which now holds 113 seats in the 234-member assembly, just five short of a majority. The AIADMK, traditionally allied with the BJP, is reportedly considering an alliance with TVK, as internal factions within the party express dissatisfaction with current leadership. AIADMK leader CV Shanmugam noted that discussions are ongoing, with party spokesperson Kovai Sathyan confirming 'momentum' towards a potential alliance. Meanwhile, tensions have escalated within the Secular Progressive Alliance, particularly between Congress and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), which accused Congress of betrayal. DMK spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai criticized Congress's decision, suggesting it undermines their alliance ahead of the 2029 elections. This evolving situation could reshape Tamil Nadu's political landscape and influence national politics as TVK seeks to challenge the established DMK-AIADMK duopoly.
