With the Congress poised to support actor-turned-politician Vijay’s TVK in forming the government in Tamil Nadu, the DMK on Wednesday described the move as a “backstab” by its long-time national ally. Speaking to PTI videos, DMK spokesperson Saravanan Anadurai said, “The Congress party has decided to ally with the TVK, pledging their support to the party. I think they have backstabbed… They have backstabbed the people of Tamil Nadu. They’ve backstabbed the mandate given by the people of Tamil Nadu.”
He said that the decision came even before the electoral process had fully concluded.
“Even before the ink on the returning officer’s signature on the victory certificate dried up, they’ve chosen to go ahead with an alliance.”Referring to the Congress’ decision to extend support to TVK, Annadurai said, “We have supported the Congress through and through. And it is our leader, M K Stalin who projected Rahul (Congress leader) as the Prime Ministerial candidate.” Questioning the arithmetic, he said the TVK lacked sufficient numbers to form the government.
