TVK joins INDIA bloc, postpones Vijay as PM face

The Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar), or TVK, has joined the INDIA opposition bloc, according to reports. The move marks the party's entry into the broader anti-BJP coalition ahead of the 2026 elections.

In a significant shift, TVK has also put on hold its strategy of positioning actor-politician Vijay as a prime ministerial face. The decision reflects the party's focus on consolidating the opposition front rather than advancing individual candidacies at the national level.
