DMK Questions Congress's Stance on SIR Protests and Tamil Nadu Alliance
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has criticized the Congress party for what it calls hypocrisy over protests against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demands for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. DMK questions Congress's participation in the Tamil Nadu government alongside the TVK, which it accuses of benefiting from alleged electoral manipulation through SIR. The DMK also condemned police actions against activists protesting the SIR process during Rahul Gandhi's visit to Chennai, highlighting contradictions between Congress's national stance and state-level alliances.
