In a significant political realignment in Tamil Nadu, the MDMK has formally ended its nine-year alliance with the DMK, while stopping short of officially announcing that it will join the ruling TVK-led front. The decision was taken at the party's general council meeting today.
In its resolutions, the MDMK welcomed Chief Minister Joseph Vijay's government and urged it to remain uncompromising on key poll promises, including maintaining a corruption-free administration and protecting Tamil Nadu's rights on issues such as the Mekedatu dam project.
