The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has launched a scathing attack on INDIA bloc ally, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, questioning his “silence” over the alleged deletion of voters from Tamil Nadu’s electoral rolls.
After the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls, the decades-old DMK-Congress alliance collapsed, with the Congress severing ties with its longtime ally and backing actor Vijay’s TVK to form the government. The DMK has alleged that millions of voters were removed from Tamil Nadu’s electoral rolls during the Election Commission’s SIR exercise. The DMK spokesperson also sought clarification on why Gandhi had not publicly endorsed a statement attributed to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. The remarks come amid a bitter fallout between the DMK and Congress.
Annadurai accused the Congress MP of “adopting inconsistent positions” on the electoral roll revision exercise and questioned why developments in Tamil Nadu had not received the same attention as the broader campaign against the Election Commission. His remarks came after INDIA bloc leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, marched from Parliament to the Election Commission office in Delhi on Tuesday, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the SIR exercise.
