Congress offers conditional support to TVK

The Congress on Tuesday (May 5, 2026) offered conditional support to TVK chief Vijay, saying that he shouldn’t seek the support of the lone winner from the BJP in the State, or any alliance partner of the BJP.

The decision came after an online meeting of the Congress’s office bearers.

The party had earlier claimed that Mr. Vijay had sought their support for the formation of the government in Tamil Nadu, and its leadership has directed the State unit to take a final decision on the matter.

Top Congress leaders held a meeting at party chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence on Tuesday evening.

Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has accepted DMK president M.K. Stalin’s resignation as the Chief Minister.
