‘Political Immaturity, Dishonesty’: DMK's Scathing Attack on Rahul Gandhi over INDIA Bloc Cracks

Murasoli said Rahul Gandhi’s remarks and alliance choices have deepened mistrust, as several INDIA bloc partners questioned Congress at a recent meeting.

  • On Tuesday, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam launched a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi through its official mouthpiece Murasoli, accusing him of mishandling alliance relations and undermining the INDIA bloc.
  • Relations soured after Congress legislators in Tamil Nadu defected from the DMK-led alliance to join the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam -led government following the 2026 Assembly election, a move the DMK views as a betrayal approved by Congress leadership.
  • Multiple INDIA bloc constituents including the Left, Samajwadi Party, and Rashtriya Janata Dal expressed concerns that Congress weakened collective opposition efforts, with Communist leaders citing Gandhi's campaign allegations of a 'secret understanding' between the Left and the BJP.
  • Amid the rift, the DMK skipped a recent INDIA bloc meeting on June 8 convened by Congress, while at the gathering itself Congress unexpectedly became the principal target of criticism rather than discussing opposition unity against the BJP.
  • Murasoli's editorial questioned how Gandhi can lecture on opposition unity while allegedly fostering divisions, claiming he delayed releasing his speech after the June 8 meeting because criticism from alliance partners had intensified in the public domain.
