The Dravida Munetra Kazhagam (DMK) has criticized its ally, the Congress party, for extending support to actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in forming a government in Tamil Nadu. DMK spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai described Congress as a 'backstabber', asserting that the five seats Congress secured in the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections were due to its alliance with the DMK. He questioned the wisdom of Congress's support for TVK, which he claims has not opposed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Saravanan's remarks highlight concerns over the ideological basis of the INDIA alliance, suggesting that Congress's actions could create distrust among other alliance partners. In response, Congress justified its support by stating that the electoral mandate in Tamil Nadu favors a secular government, aiming to prevent BJP influence in the state. The future of the Congress-DMK alliance remains uncertain, especially with Congress's expectations for ministerial positions in a potential new Cabinet led by TVK.
