Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) member and Villuppuram MP, Ravikumar, has sparked controversy within the DMK alliance in the state with a post regarding a draft resolution to be discussed at the upcoming CPI(M) National Conference. The 24th National Conference of the CPI(M) will take place in Madurai in a few months, and the draft resolutions, which include the statement “No political alliance with Congress,” have already been approved and will be debated at the Central Committee meeting in Kolkata.
This has caused a significant stir, as Congress is a major ally in the DMK-led state coalition, alongside the Communists. Additionally, the CPI(M) withdrawal of support for Congress could potentially impact the larger I.N.D.I.A. alliance at the central level. If the Communists decide to pull out of their support for Congress, it could affect the DMK’s alliance ahead of the 2026 state legislative assembly elections.
In a social media post on his official X account, VCK MP Ravikumar wrote, “No political alliance with Congress” Announcement in draft resolution to be passed at CPI(M) National Conference. The 24th National Conference of the CPI(M) will be held in Madurai in a few months. The draft resolutions to be passed in it have been approved and put up for discussion at the Central Committee meeting held in Kolkata. An assessment of the BJP, Congress and state parties has also been presented in it. The following is said about the Congress party (pages 52-53): Congress: The Congress was able to improve its strength in the Lok Sabha from 44 to 100, benefitting by having allies in the INDIA bloc. It has been able to gain Muslim minority support in a substantial manner all over the country. The Congress base has not expanded significantly. It has been defeated in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Haryana in the Assembly elections in. the North. In states like Punjab, Odisha and Assam, it has been considerably weakened. It is in the South that the Congress has made gains, with victories in the Karnataka and Telangana assembly polls and forming governments there. The Congress has not changed its economic policy direction. It talks against crony capitalism but adheres to the very same neo-liberal policies which spawn such cronies. While its national leadership is taking a more forthright position against the Hindutva agenda, there are still vacillations and a tendency to compromise when faced with the aggressive offensive of the BJP and its Hindutva allies. The Congress party represents the same class interests as the BJP. However, being the main secular opposition party, it has a role to play in the struggle against the BJP and in the broader unity to be forged of the secular forces. The attitude of the CPI(M) to the Congress is determined by this need for broader unity of the secular forces. However, the Party cannot have a political alliance with the Congress.”
