Congress Betrayed DMK Voters, Says T R Baalu
Senior DMK leader T R Baalu has accused the Congress of betraying voters after the party extended support to Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam for government formation in Tamil Nadu.
DMK Leader T R Baalu Attacks Congress
T R Baalu said the Congress had betrayed the people who voted with the belief that a DMK-led government would be formed in Tamil Nadu. His remarks came after Congress announced support to TVK, which emerged as the single largest party in the Assembly election.
The DMK leader’s statement reflects growing anger within the party over Congress shifting its support to Vijay after contesting the election as part of the DMK-led alliance.
Congress Support To TVK Sparks Row
The Congress has said its alliance with TVK is not only for government formation but will also continue for future local body, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha elections. This has intensified the political fallout in Tamil Nadu.
For the DMK, the Congress move is being seen as a direct political setback, especially after both parties fought the election together. The statement by T R Baalu signals that relations between the two allies have entered a serious phase of strain.
Tamil Nadu Government Formation Tensions Rise
TVK is working to form the next government after falling short of a majority on its own. Congress support has strengthened Vijay’s claim, while the AIADMK has ruled out backing TVK under any circumstances.
The latest DMK reaction has turned Tamil Nadu’s government formation process into a larger opposition alliance crisis. The Congress decision could reshape state politics and raise new questions about the future of the INDIA bloc in Tamil Nadu.
