Congress dumps DMK after election rout sparking ally rethink and sharp Stalin swipe

The ally jibe claims DMK was rejected outright

In a dramatic post-poll shift in Tamil Nadu, Congress has launched a hard attack on its ally DMK, alleging the party’s mandate was rejected by the people. Party leaders framed DMK losses as “collateral damage,” and hinted at a rethink on backing the ruling alliance amid a fractured verdict. The move could shake the state’s next political calculations.
