Tamil Nadu ,June 4: (DMK) announced that it will boycott the upcoming INDIA bloc meeting scheduled for June 8 at the Constitution Club, New Delhi.

Thirumavalavan-led Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (TVK).In a strong statement, DMK expressed deep hurt among its cadres due to what it called Congress’s “betrayal.”

Stalin has been a prominent voice in the INDIA bloc, which the party claims to be its central force.
The boycott is meant to honor the sentiments of DMK workers, though the party reaffirmed its commitment to broader Opposition solidarity on national issues.Despite the boycott announcement, the All India Congress Committee’s Tamil Nadu in-charge, Girish Chodankar, stated on June 2 that DMK remains part of the INDIA bloc.
