DMK, AIADMK Attack TVK Over Horse-Trading in Tamil Nadu Bypoll

DMK and AIADMK leaders have launched attacks on the TVK during campaigning for an ongoing Tamil Nadu bypoll. Stalin, canvassing for DMK candidate Paranthaman, and Palaniswami, supporting AIADMK nominee Kanitha Sampath, both told voters that the bypoll was not triggered by unavoidable circumstances but was engineered by TVK through defections.

Both opposition leaders alleged that TVK indulged in blatant horse-trading to cause the election, rather than the seat falling vacant due to natural reasons. The accusations highlight tensions between the established parties and the newer TVK faction during the campaigning phase.
