Vaiko's MDMK ends nine-year alliance with DMK

In a resolution passed at the meeting held, the MDMK alleged that after the Tamil Nadu Assembly election results were announced on May 4, 2026, it emerged that "behind-the-scenes political deals" had gone against the mandate given by the people. It was an open secret that "arrangements" were made to install an AIADMK government, the MDMK alleged without directly naming the DMK.
