Congress officially allies with Vijay's TVK, dumps DMK

Tamil Nadu Congress Committee and the Congress Legislative Party (CLP) has decided to extend its full support to the TVK to form the government. However, the party has placed key conditions for its support. These, as per sources, include a demand for two cabinet berths, along with significant roles such as chairmanships of boards and corporations. Congress is also likely to insist that TVK refrain from seeking support from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or any constituents of the NDA to form the government.

If these conditions are accepted, Congress believes it will be in a stronger position to persuade its allies, including the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Communist Party of India (CPI), Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), to extend support to TVK as well.
