Congress-DMK Clash Over Tamil Nadu Debt Sparks Political Controversy Ahead of Elections

In a major rift within the INDIA bloc ahead of the assembly elections, Congress leader Praveen Chakravarty has sparked a controversy by claiming Tamil Nadu’s outstanding debt is higher than that of Uttar Pradesh. The DMK has hit back, with Minister TRB Raja dismissing the remarks as a 'private agenda' and warning cadres not to engage. On this broadcast, BJP Vice President Narayanan Tirupati mocks the alliance, terming the infighting a 'self-goal' and accusing the MK Stalin government of borrowing to cover deficits rather than for infrastructure. The report also highlights Chakravarty’s recent meeting with TVK chief Vijay, fueling speculation about political realignments in the southern state.
