The roller-coaster relationship between the DMK and Congress finally derails
The DMK and Congress, after a two-decade alliance, have officially ended their partnership. This decision comes after years of strained negotiations over seat-sharing during elections, culminating in the 2026 Assembly polls where the DMK secured victory. The relationship was marked by tensions and disagreements, particularly regarding portfolio distribution and the treatment of local Congress leaders. Despite a history of shared power and opposition to the BJP, the two parties ultimately decided to part ways. This move is seen as potentially impacting Tamil Nadu's political landscape, with concerns about the emergence of TVK actor Vijay and its potential impact on the BJP's rise in the state.
