Can Vaiko join hands with Vijay? Buzz gains ground as MDMK snaps DMK ties | Political Pulse News
The Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK), led by Vaiko, has ended its nine-year alliance with the DMK. The party's General Council voted to withdraw from the Secular Progressive Alliance, citing attempts to dilute the MDMK's identity and a post-election effort to install the AIADMK in power. While the resolution states the party will decide its future electoral alliances at an appropriate time, speculation suggests it could align with Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay’s TVK. Vaiko has been known for his frequent political shifts, including joining hands with various parties like the BJP and AIADMK. His departure from the DMK is seen as a reflection of growing frustration within the party over its inability to retain an independent identity in the changing Tamil Nadu political landscape.
