MK Stalin, the president of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, expressed disappointment over the Congress party's abrupt decision to sever ties with the DMK after the recent assembly elections in Tamil Nadu. He emphasized the importance of unity among the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) and thanked the Left parties and the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) for their continued support, despite their decision to back the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in forming the next state government. The TVK, which made a strong debut by winning 108 seats, now has the backing of several parties, allowing it to comfortably surpass the majority mark in the 234-member Assembly. Stalin noted that the DMK did not secure enough seats to form a government but expressed a commitment to act as a constructive opposition. He urged the new government to continue welfare schemes aimed at benefiting women, youth, and marginalized communities, highlighting the DMK's past achievements in developing Tamil Nadu.
