Kanimozhi Seeks Separate Lok Sabha Seating for DMK MPs After Congress Split The fallout between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the Indian National Congress has now reached Parliament, with the DMK formally seeking a separate seating arrangement for its MPs in the Lok Sabha following the collapse of their long-standing alliance. DMK parliamentary party leader Kanimozhi Karunanidhi wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla requesting separate benches, stating that the changed political circumstances made it inappropriate for DMK MPs to continue sharing space with Congress members in the House. The development comes after Congress ended its alliance with the DMK in Tamil Nadu and extended support to Vijay and the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The shift has triggered sharp reactions from DMK leaders, who accused Congress of betraying a long-standing partnership. The split is being seen as a setback for the INDIA alliance at the national level, with the DMK being one of its key constituents in Parliament. Political observers say the widening rift could affect opposition coordination both inside and outside the Lok Sabha in the coming months. Meanwhile, Akhilesh Yadav, chief of the Samajwadi Party, signalled support for the DMK through a social media message emphasising opposition unity during politically challenging times.

VCK Criticises TVK’s Outreach Strategy Amid Tamil Nadu Political Deadlock Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) has strongly criticised Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) over its approach to seeking political support amid the ongoing government formation deadlock in Tamil Nadu. VCK leaders accused TVK of showing arrogance and questioned why party chief Vijay did not personally engage with alliance partners during the crucial post-election phase. VCK general secretary Sinthanai Selvan alleged that TVK functionaries relied on WhatsApp messages to seek support instead of holding direct discussions with leaders of parties whose backing is essential to form the government. He said Vijay should have adopted a more consultative approach given the fragile political situation. Selvan also criticised what he described as an aggressive tone from sections of the TVK leadership after the election results. He questioned the party’s stance against “dynastic politics” while reportedly seeking support from parties aligned with the Indian National Congress and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. Further targeting TVK’s strategy, the VCK leader objected to remarks allegedly made by some TVK functionaries about VCK cadres and accused certain leaders of using Vijay’s popularity to advance political agendas against the DMK. He also criticised the practice of moving MLAs to resorts after the election, calling it a return of “resort politics” in the state. TVK has emerged as the single-largest party in the Assembly elections but remains short of the majority mark required to form the government. The political situation in Tamil Nadu remains fluid, with parties continuing to explore alliance options and support arrangements.
