DMK to Boycott June 8 INDIA Bloc Meeting over Congress ‘Betrayal’
- The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam announced Thursday it will skip the June 8 INDIA bloc meeting in New Delhi, citing a rift with the Congress party following Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
- Tensions escalated after the Congress party ended its long-standing alliance with the DMK to support the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam , led by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay.
- DMK leaders condemned the move as "betrayal" and "backstabbing," and the party secured separate seating from Congress members in the Lok Sabha, reflecting the deepening political divide.
- While around 15 opposition parties plan to attend the meeting to discuss strategy against the BJP-led government, the DMK's absence and the Aam Aadmi Party's likely withdrawal signal internal instability.
- The DMK stated it will remain committed to fighting communal forces in Tamil Nadu independently, though political observers suggest this split complicates future opposition alliances and coordination efforts.
