The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has decided to forgo participation in the upcoming INDIA bloc meeting scheduled for June 8 in New Delhi, primarily due to feelings of betrayal by the Indian National Congress. This decision comes in light of Congress's support for the Tamil Maanila Congress (TVK) after the recent Tamil Nadu assembly elections, where DMK, part of the alliance, suffered a defeat. The DMK expressed that its members are deeply hurt by what they perceive as Congress's betrayal, particularly since Congress had previously allied with them during the elections, winning five seats. Although DMK will not attend the meeting, it plans to continue voicing concerns on national issues that may arise from other participating parties. The political landscape has shifted, with TVK emerging as the largest party in Tamil Nadu, further complicating DMK's relationship with Congress, as they have also requested separate seating in the Lok Sabha, distancing themselves from their long-term ally.
