The DMK, in a strong editorial, has accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of significantly weakening the opposition INDIA bloc through his actions and perceived political immaturity. The party's official newspaper, Murasoli, highlighted criticism faced by Gandhi from alliance partners during a recent meeting.
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has sharply criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, alleging his "political immaturity" is a primary reason for the INDIA bloc's weakening. An editorial in the DMK's mouthpiece, Murasoli, stated that Gandhi's conduct has fueled tensions within the opposition alliance.
The editorial detailed how, during a recent opposition meeting, criticism against the Congress leader dominated discussions, shifting the focus from opposing the BJP. It claimed that parties like the Left, Samajwadi Party, and Rashtriya Janata Dal voiced concerns about actions perceived to undermine collective opposition efforts.
Furthermore, the DMK accused the Congress, under Gandhi's alleged backing, of acting against the interests of its former allies in Tamil Nadu. The editorial pointed to the Congress's alignment with the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in the state, suggesting it disrupted the political landscape and weakened the DMK's opposition position.
Murasoli also cited Gandhi's remarks in Kerala, questioning the Left Democratic Front's ties with the BJP, as an example of Congress prioritizing attacks on allies over confronting the ruling party. The DMK publication concluded by blaming Gandhi for sowing division within the bloc, questioning his commitment to opposition unity.
