MDMK cuts ties with DMK alliance, pledges support to TVK government
The Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) has officially withdrawn from the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance, citing alleged backroom arrangements to install the AIADMK in power. The party's General Council unanimously passed a resolution to sever ties with the alliance, with MDMK General Secretary Vaiko stating that this decision was prompted by post-election developments and concerns about corruption within the DMK coalition. The party will now support the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government in the upcoming by-elections and focus on forming a friendship with the TVK for local body elections.
