Congress's Stance Against Horse-Trading in Tamil Nadu

Congress MP Jothimani criticizes alleged 'horse-trading' in Tamil Nadu, opposing different standards for the state and others. The Congress supports Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay for efficient governance but rejects all unilateral decisions by TVK. The situation highlights the tension within political alliances and commitment to democratic values.

Congress MP from Tamil Nadu, S Jothimani, sharply criticized what she termed 'horse-trading' activities in the state, asserting that the party cannot maintain inconsistent policies across different regions.

As an alliance member, Congress vows to back Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay in ensuring effective governance, yet distanced itself from fully endorsing all TVK decisions, specifically controversial maneuvers perceived as undermining the democratic process.

This comes amid allegations against the ruling TVK for alleged 'horse-trading' following the switch of three AIADMK MLAs to the government side. Jothimani emphasized the imperative for measures that reinforce rather than jeopardize democracy, citing Congress's tradition and obligation to express dissent against such practices.
