During a recent event in Chennai, M K Stalin, the leader of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), claimed that his party allowed its alliance partners to support the Tamilga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in government formation to prevent the imposition of President's rule in Tamil Nadu. He expressed concern that President's rule could lead to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) gaining control in the state. Stalin welcomed former AIADMK members into the DMK, stating it was their democratic right to choose their political path. He noted that the TVK, led by actor-politician C Joseph Vijay, secured 108 seats in the recent Assembly elections but fell short of a majority. Stalin highlighted the support from alliance partners, including the CPI, CPI(M), VCK, and IUML, while mentioning that Congress had shifted its support to TVK. Despite the DMK's loss of power, Stalin reaffirmed the party's commitment to serve the public from the opposition, urging unity among alliance members to challenge the current government.
