MDMK quits DMK-led alliance, to support TVK in state bypolls
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|June 28, 2026
The Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) on Saturday exited the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)-led Secular Progressive Alliance after over eight years, with party general secretary Vaiko accusing his long-time ally—the DMK—of attempting to quietly install an AIADMK government after the assembly election results.
The MDMK has now said it would support the ruling TVK in the upcoming assembly bypolls.
“We are leaving the alliance headed by the DMK. In the ensuing by-elections, we will extend our support to the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. They have eradicated commission and corruption, the two evils of democracy,” the MDMK general secretary said, hours after a resolution to this effect was passed in the general council meeting on Saturday, in which 1466 members participated and expressed their support to sever ties with the DMK.
Vaiko said his party would not contest the by-elections, but “if they invite me, I will go for campaigning.”
