DMK to Skip INDIA Bloc Meeting Citing Differences with Congress over Tamil Nadu Alliance
The DMK has announced it will skip the upcoming INDIA bloc meeting scheduled for September 30, citing differences with the Congress party over its alliance with Tamil Nadu's TVK. DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan stated that while several parties share ideological opposition to the BJP, they are reluctant to attend the meeting due to Congress's choices. Meanwhile, DMK has also sought a Special Investigation Team probe into Chief Minister Vijay amid election-related concerns. Southern parties, including those from Kerala, are expected to attend the meeting.
