DMK skips INDIA bloc meeting after Congress backs TVK in Tamil Nadu

mathrubhumi.com (Malayalam)

DMK will not attend the INDIA bloc meeting on June 8 due to a fallout with Congress over its support for the TVK party in Tamil Nadu elections. Congress's decision to back actor Vijay's TVK for government formation in Tamil Nadu, despite DMK being a long-term ally, has angered DMK leaders. This has led to DMK MPs seeking separate seating in Parliament. The INDIA bloc faces challenges as TMC and AAP are also distancing themselves. This withdrawal by a key South Indian party is a significant setback for the alliance aiming to counter the BJP.
