Power sharing, political compulsion keep VCK with DMK-led bloc
The Statesman
|November 09, 2024
Caught between his party's long-cherished goal of power sharing and the political compulsion of remaining with the DMK, Dalit leader and MP Thol Thirumavalavan on Friday ruled out entering into an electoral alliance with actor Vijay's fledgling Tamilaga Vettri Kazagam (TVK).
"The political stand on share in power was aimed at uplifting and empowering the marginalized sections. Vijay's invite to potential allies with the bait of power share has sparked off speculation that it was aimed at the VCK. Since it was our long-held goal, such a debate cannot be avoided. But, the VCK, which was instrumental in the formation of the INDIA block given the prevailing political context, has no necessity to switch sides," VCK president Thirumavalavan said in a statement addressed to the VCK cadre.
