The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has strongly criticised its ally Congress for backing actor-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) after the 2026 Tamil Nadu election results. Calling the move a “betrayal,” DMK leaders said they “paid a high price for loyalty” despite their long-standing alliance with Congress. The controversy comes after TVK emerged as a major force, ending the traditional DMK-AIADMK dominance and reshaping the state’s political landscape. Congress’s decision to support Vijay has triggered tensions within opposition ranks, signalling a major realignment and raising questions about future alliances in Tamil Nadu politics. (PC: NDTV)
