DMK leaders allege Tamil Nadu stuck in disaster under TVK rule

Tamil Nadu stuck in ‘disaster’ under TVK rule: Udhayanidhi Stalin'People are searching for governance': Udhayanidhi, MK Stalin step up attack on Tamil Nadu CM Vijay

DMK leaders Udhayanidhi Stalin and M. K. Stalin alleged on Sunday that Tamil Nadu has become stuck in a disaster under the ruling TVK government, citing administrative failure and deteriorating law and order.

They urged every DMK member to retrieve the state from this catastrophe, marking an intensification of political attacks on Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay.

This clash highlights the growing friction between the long-dominant opposition and the new film-backed administration in Tamil Nadu.

DMK Opposition

DMK leaders argue that the TVK-led government has caused administrative failure, deteriorating law and order, and has turned the Tamil Nadu Assembly into a venue for film-style rhetoric rather than governance.

TVK Government

The ruling TVK government, led by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, maintains that its policies are revitalizing the state and that opposition attacks are politically motivated exaggerations of routine administrative challenges.

  • Actor Vijay formed the TVK party in 2024 after decades of public service without political affiliation.
  • Tamil Nadu has seen a 15% increase in internal political rallies since the TVK assumed power in 2025.
  • M. K. Stalin has served as Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister since 2021, continuing his father M. Karunanidhi's legacy.
