TN Election Countdown: INDIA Bloc In Disarray As Congress, DMK Lock Horns

As the battle for Tamil Nadu approaches, alliance-building within the INDIA bloc remains unresolved. Talks between the DMK and the Congress appear stuck, with Chief Minister M.K. Stalin insisted his priority is governance and welfare delivery rather than political bargaining. Inside the Congress, frustration is mounting, with leaders openly questioning the delay in finalising seat-sharing arrangements. The uncertainty has exposed underlying tensions over strategy and partnerships, even as the AIADMK targets the bloc’s lack of clarity. Speculation over a possible Congress outreach to actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam has added another layer of complexity. While a break with the DMK looks unlikely, the final call rests with the Congress high command.
