DMK acting out of 'frustration' as its plans to stop Vijay from becoming CM fell through: Congress MP
Congress MP B Manickam Tagore criticised the DMK's actions as a "drama." He alleged the DMK engaged in secret talks with the AIADMK and BJP. Tagore stated the Congress broke away from the DMK-led alliance to support C Joseph Vijay's TVK. The Congress party affirmed its commitment to supporting only secular governments in Tamil Nadu.
