TVK to hold second meeting with post-poll allies on September 9
TVK will seek to formalize its post-poll arrangement as a political alliance and set up a coordination committee, party leaders said.
- The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam has scheduled a second coordination meeting with coalition partners for September 9 in Chennai to formalize their governing arrangement into a structured political alliance.
- After securing 108 seats in the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections, the TVK relies on Congress, the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi , the Indian Union Muslim League , and Left parties to maintain majority control.
- On Friday, TVK ministers met with Communist Party of India state secretary P. Shanmugam and Communist Party of India state secretary M. Veerapandian to extend formal invitations for the September 9 coordination talks.
- A rift is brewing between the TVK and Congress over the 2029 prime ministerial candidate; while the TVK promotes Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, Congress leaders dismiss the pitch as a "fan mindset," backing Rahul Gandhi instead.
- Congress Legislature Party leader Tharahai Cuthbert said on Wednesday there is "no confusion" within the alliance, noting that Vijay previously recognized Gandhi as the intended candidate and personal projections do not reflect agreed strategy.
