The determination of the Congressmen to instrumentality to their guns this clip astir is mostly owing to the emergence of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) founded by histrion Vijay arsenic a viable “third front”.

“One period ago, AICC in-charge Girish Chodankarji communicated the party’s demands connected stock successful powerfulness and the fig of seats. The shot is present successful DMK’s court. The DMK hasn’t officially responded to our demands. The Congress wants to beryllium with the DMK. Chief Minister Stalin has been steadfast successful his absorption to the BJP and the RSS. However, a stock successful powerfulness is indispensable for the Congress to turn successful Tamil Nadu,” helium said.
Mr. Alagiri believes the Congress enactment volition backmost these demands. “Previously, lone the cadre demanded a stock successful power. Now, the AICC nationalist in-charge, TNCC president, CLP person person officially communicated the demands to the DMK.”
Agreeing that the last telephone volition beryllium made by the Congress nationalist leadership, a MP besides underlined that Mr. Chodankar is an “idealistic and an honorable man” whose words are taken earnestly by the Gandhis.
“Mr. Chodankar is an idealistic feline and helium volition bash the occupation helium has been entrusted with...in each sincerity. The AICC thinks astir the larger bully for the enactment and the nation. Yes, they volition deliberation astir the parliament elections successful 2029, but that doesn’t mean that the opinions of the section leaders won’t matter. They are ever taken into confidence.”
