DMK to skip INDIA bloc meeting on June 8
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Thursday said it will not take part in a meeting of the opposition INDIA bloc on June 8.
The decision was taken keeping in mind the sentiments of party workers, who were “deeply hurt by what they consider the betrayal committed by the Congress party”, ANI quoted the DMK as stating.
The party was referring to the Congress supporting the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam government in Tamil Nadu.
The Congress, a long-time ally of the DMK, was the first party to support the outfit led by actor Vijay after the Assembly election results. This had led DMK leader TR Baalu to accuse the Congress of betraying the people who voted for it, according to PTI.
On May 21, two Congress MLAs, S Rajesh Kumar and P Viswanathan, were inducted into the state Cabinet. This was the first time in 59 years that the Congress became part of the Cabinet in Tamil Nadu.
Against this backdrop, the DMK said on Thursday that it will not take part in the meeting of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance on June 8, as the Congress is slated to participate in it.
“While the DMK will not attend this meeting, it will continue, as always, to raise its voice on issues affecting the welfare of the nation that may be brought forward by the other parties participating in the meeting,” it added, according to ANI.
While the Vijay-led TVK emerged as the single-largest party in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, it had fallen short of the majority mark by 10 seats. It formed the government with the support of the Congress, the Communist Party of India and the Communist Party of India (Marxist), the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi and the Indian Union Muslim League.
