The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has publicly condemned the Congress party's decision to support the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in forming a government in Tamil Nadu, labeling it a 'myopic' choice that jeopardizes the integrity of their alliance within the INDIA coalition. DMK spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai expressed concerns that this move could lead to a perception of Congress as an 'unstable partner' and undermine trust among coalition members. The Congress's support comes after TVK emerged as the single largest party in the recent Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, securing 108 seats but falling short of the majority by 10 seats. The decision was made during a late-night virtual meeting of Congress leaders, where they discussed the political implications of aligning with TVK. This shift not only impacts Tamil Nadu politics but could also reverberate across the national landscape, prompting other opposition leaders to reassess their strategies ahead of the 2029 General Elections.
