Sivaganga MP Karti Chidambaram was present at the meeting
Intra-party rift within the Congress party here snowballed into a fistfight with some workers also hurling chairs. Due to this the meeting had to be abruptly called off on Saturday.
Uneasy calm prevailed as two workers suffered multiple injuries and after police descended, the partymen were forcibly directed to leave the venue, even as Sivaganga MP Karti Chidambaram, MLAs Mangudi, K. R. Manickam and ex-MLA and senior leader K. R. Ramasami were present.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
