Congress MP Karti Chidambaram Advises Against Including AIADMK Rebels in Tamil Nadu Government

Congress MP Karti P Chidambaram has advised Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay against including the rebel AIADMK faction in his government, warning it could damage Vijay's public image and political stability. The current government, supported by Congress, Left parties, IUML, and AIADMK rebels, survived a trust vote without formally inducting the breakaway group. Karti emphasized that the existing coalition reflects voters' desire for change away from AIADMK and DMK, and that including AIADMK rebels may not be accepted by the public.
