A controversy has erupted within the Congress party after a post by strategist Praveen Chakravarty comparing state debts, which a Tamil Nadu Congress leader interpreted as endorsing BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh over Tamil Nadu. The Tamil Nadu party chief complained to the AICC, stating Chakravarty's comments do not represent the party's voice and that no Congressman in Tamil Nadu will accept such an endorsement. The leader accused Chakravarty of undermining Tamil Nadu's governance and misusing Rahul Gandhi's name.
