TVK Refutes AMMK Chief's Claims, Releases Video of MLA Kamaraj's Support Letter
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has firmly rejected allegations by AMMK General Secretary TTV Dhinakaran that a letter of support from AMMK MLA-elect Kamaraj was forged. Dhinakaran had rushed to Lok Bhavan to submit a counter-letter to Governor Rajendra Arlekar, asserting that the viral document was fake and that AMMK remains loyal to the NDA and AIADMK. In response, TVK released video footage purportedly showing Kamaraj voluntarily writing the letter endorsing Vijay’s party for government formation. TVK accused Dhinakaran of spreading misinformation and concealing facts, emphasizing that the party does not need to bargain for support despite falling short of the 118-seat majority mark with 108 seats. The dispute highlights the intense political maneuvering in Tamil Nadu following recent assembly elections. While TVK has already secured backing from the CPI, CPI(M), and Congress, it continues to seek additional alliances to challenge the traditional DMK-AIADMK duopoly. Dhinakaran maintains his support for AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami as the rightful Chief Ministerial candidate, creating a contentious atmosphere regarding coalition legitimacy and political loyalty in the state.
