IndiaThe DMK, a major political party in Tamil Nadu, has initiated negotiations with several regional parties such as the Trinamool Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) to form a 'third front' outside the Congress-led INDIA alliance. This move follows the DMK's exit from the INDIA alliance after Congress withdrew support and extended it to the TVK, which won the Tamil Nadu Assembly polls. DMK leaders, including Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, have engaged in discussions with representatives of these parties, focusing on issues like delimitation and the 2027 caste enumeration census. The DMK has also sought separate seating arrangements in Parliament due to tensions with Congress. Meanwhile, the MDMK, a former ally of the DMK, has joined the TVK-led alliance and accused the DMK of attempting to undermine the INDIA bloc and potentially align with the BJP.
