DMK says no need for it to join Congress-led protests after exit from INDIA bloc
The DMK rejected Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president Manickam Tagore’s assertion that it avoided protests over CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation to avoid BJP backlash. Instead, the party urged Tagore to question Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s lack of participation. The DMK maintained it had no reason to join the Congress‑led demonstrations. This stance underscores the party’s independent stance amid intra‑state political tensions.
