Rahul Gandhi's Social Media Activity Highlights Congress-DMK Relations Amid Seat-Sharing Talks

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's recent social media activity has raised questions about the relationship between the Congress and its Tamil Nadu ally, the DMK. Gandhi's birthday greeting to DMK Chief Minister M K Stalin was notably restrained compared to previous years, omitting familiar terms of camaraderie. Reports also suggest Gandhi unfollowed Stalin on Instagram. These developments coincide with ongoing seat-sharing negotiations ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, where the parties differ on the number of seats to be allocated.
