VCK political alignment shifts in Tamil Nadu
Overview
Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader Thirumavalavan has navigated shifting political alignments in Tamil Nadu. Initially, Thirumavalavan confirmed the VCK’s participation in consultative meetings with the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), noting the party’s status as a cabinet member.
However, the political situation evolved as the VCK departed from the DMK-led secular alliance. Thirumavalavan clarified that while the party did not formally leave, a lack of harmonious relations within the coalition necessitated a change in position. He cited issues regarding the management of the alliance, including the disproportionate allocation of seats to the DMDK and insufficient space for other partners.
Thirumavalavan noted that he rejected internal suggestions to campaign for himself as the next Chief Minister for the 2026 assembly elections, expressing a desire to avoid breaking the coalition due to the influence of the RSS and BJP in the region. He emphasized that the VCK’s actions were intended to protect its specific political interests.
