Congress to Form Committee for Talks with DMK Ahead of 2026 Assembly Elections
With the 2026 Assembly elections approaching, the Congress party has decided to constitute a committee to hold discussions with the DMK, signaling efforts to strengthen alliances and clarify its electoral strategy. Party sources said the move is aimed at addressing speculation that Congress might consider joining hands with the newly-formed TVK party led by actor-turned-politician Vijay.
The committee is expected to explore possibilities for collaboration, seat-sharing arrangements, and other strategic issues, ensuring that Congress maintains a cohesive approach in the run-up to the polls. Political analysts note that early engagement with DMK could help prevent confusion among voters and party workers regarding potential alliances.
Congress leaders emphasized that the discussions are part of a structured process to review electoral prospects and reinforce existing political ties. The development marks the beginning of active coalition negotiations, as parties gear up for the state elections and seek to consolidate their positions ahead of campaigning.
