Congress Ministers Will Quit Tamil Nadu Cabinet If Vijay Is Posed as PM Candidate
· India · The Hindu, Zee News, News18
Tamil Nadu Tourism Minister S. Rajesh Kumar warned on Sunday that he and his Congress cabinet colleague Viswanathan will immediately resign if the TVK continues projecting C. Joseph Vijay as a Prime Minister candidate for the 2029 parliamentary elections. Speaking at a party meeting in Marthandam, Mr. Rajesh Kumar asserted that Rahul Gandhi has been accepted as the PM candidate by voters across the nation. The warning comes in response to TVK ministers and functionaries openly campaigning to present Mr. Vijay as a prime ministerial contender. The report does not specify whether TVK leadership has responded to the ultimatum.
Why it matters
The ultimatum threatens the political stability of the ruling alliance in Tamil Nadu and tests the friction between the Congress and C. Joseph Vijay's TVK ahead of the 2029 general elections.
