No need for TVK to indulge in horse-trading, says Cong. MP Karti Chidambaram in Sivaganga
Congress MP Karti Chidambaram stated that the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party has no reason to engage in horse-trading given its current legislative strength. He also praised the Chief Minister's stance on corruption while noting that custodial deaths require a systemic change in police mindset rather than just government blame.
Why it matters
This highlights the political climate in Tamil Nadu and the evolving stance of opposition parties toward the new TVK administration.
There seems to be no reason at all for the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party to indulge in horse-trading as charged by some political parties, said Congress MP Karti Chidambaram here on Thursday.
Speaking to media persons, he said that in the present scenario, the TVK, with its numbers in the Legislative Assembly, should be in a position to complete its full-term in office. Under such circumstances, “I see no reason for the party to engage in pulling up MLAs into its fold or seeking resignations et al,,” he said.
On the performance of the Tamil Nadu government, he said, the party was yet to submit its budget. “There is more time for such appraisals to be made,” he added. However, he said, that the government was giving an impression that it would not tolerate corruption in any manner and at any level.
