Congress MP Manickam Tagore criticized the rumored alliance between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) in Tamil Nadu, suggesting it is a strategic move to prevent actor-politician Vijay from becoming chief minister. Following the recent state elections, Vijay's party, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), emerged as the largest party with 108 seats, just 10 seats short of a majority in the 234-member assembly. Tagore described the potential alliance as unprincipled, stating that two lifelong rivals are uniting not for the benefit of Tamil Nadu but to thwart a single individual. Despite speculation, DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan denied any current plans for collaboration, asserting that any decision would ultimately be made by party leader MK Stalin. The political landscape remains uncertain, with various parties, including the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), stating that discussions regarding an alliance have not yet taken concrete shape.
