Congress Threatens to Quit Vijay Cabinet Over PM Candidate Dispute

S. Rajesh Kumar, a minister in the current government, warned that the Congress party will resign from the Vijay Cabinet if Rahul is not chosen as the party’s prime minister candidate. The warning follows reports that several TVK ministers and functionaries are openly campaigning to position Chief Minister Vijay as the party’s candidate for the prime ministerial role. Kumar’s statement signals a split within Congress over leadership direction and indicates that the party is prepared to withdraw its support from the cabinet if its preferred candidate is not accepted. The move could prompt a cabinet reshuffle or force the government to seek new allies to maintain a majority.
