Anitha Radhakrishnan, a prominent member of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, criticized Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay and his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) coalition government, predicting it would not last more than six months. Speaking at a DMK event in Tiruchendur, Radhakrishnan challenged Aadhav Arjuna, a senior leader from the ruling party, to resign and contest against him in his stronghold. He emphasized that the DMK, led by MK Stalin, would soon reclaim power in the state. Radhakrishnan, who has represented the Tiruchendur constituency for 25 years, expressed confidence in his party's return to governance despite recent electoral setbacks, including the loss of Kolathur to a former DMK member who joined the TVK. The TVK's recent electoral victory was notable for breaking a long-standing pattern of alternating wins between the DMK and AIADMK, with the TVK securing 108 out of 234 seats in the assembly. Despite Radhakrishnan's assertions, the TVK has dismissed claims of instability within its government, which recently passed a trust vote with a significant majority.
