DMK stoutly opposes Congress leaders’ demand for a share in power in Tamil Nadu

Congress leaders in Tamil Nadu are demanding a share in power for the 2026 Assembly election, citing past alliances and promises made to voters. DMK leadership has rejected this proposal, stating that such an arrangement would not work in Tamil Nadu. Girish Chodankar, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president K. Selvaperunthagai, and others argue that the party's presence is necessary for fulfilling promises made to the people. However, DMK leaders are upset about some Congress functionaries calling for a split from the alliance.
