The rift between the Congress and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has deepened, with both parties trading charges over their alliance in Tamil Nadu.
Congress lawmaker Manickam Tagore alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) acted as a mediator between the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and DMK to prevent Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief C Joseph Vijay from becoming the chief minister.
Tagore claimed that DMK and AIADMK had a joint objective of preventing TVK chief C Joseph Vijay from becoming the chief minister of Tamil Nadu.
However, DMK leaders, including Udhayanidhi Stalin, hit back at the Congress, accusing it of being responsible for the BJP's continuous victories in the country.
The Congress has condemned the resolution passed by the DMK's youth wing, calling it 'unnecessary words and accusations'.
