DK Shivakumar, Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister, has robustly dismissed claims made by TVK Chief Vijay that Congress cadres are backing his party. In a strong rebuttal, Shivakumar emphasized Congress's allegiance with the DMK, refuting any alignment with TVK.
Shivakumar described Vijay as an immature politician lacking experience, suggesting any alliance he claims might only involve the TMC, not Congress. He reaffirmed the Congress-DMK tie, predicting a significant victory in upcoming elections with a two-thirds majority.
Vijay has criticized both the DMK and BJP blocs, labeling them corrupt and intent on blocking his political progress. He contends their shared objective is to stifle his political influence, having exposed their alleged corruption. As Tamil Nadu prepares for polls, Vijay aims to position his party as a formidable contender in the three-way race.
