The Southern View | Congress Rift Over DMK Alliance Ahead Of Tamil Nadu Polls

Political tensions are rising in Tamil Nadu as internal differences within the Indian National Congress surface over its alliance with the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections.

One faction within the Congress is demanding a larger share of seats and power-sharing arrangements if the DMK returns to power, arguing that the party deserves greater representation after years of alliance support. However, another section favours maintaining the status quo to preserve the long-standing partnership aimed at countering the Bharatiya Janata Party and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.
