'Rahul Gandhi will make Vijay sit in PM chair in 2029': TVK MLA amid prime minister pitch row over Tamil Nadu CM
Kanimozhi said Rahul Gandhi would make Vijay CM, adding that she would see “who goes in and who goes out in 2029” if Congress quits the alliance.
TVK MLA Kanimozhi Santhosh has reignited the debate over who will be India's next prime minister in 2029, suggesting that Tamil Nadu CM Vijay is the clear frontrunner. She told reporters that "a big and shocking change in Indian politics will be seen in 2029," and specifically claimed that Rahul Gandhi would hand VIjay the PM chair.
Kanimozhi defended this projection, noting that she made a similar prediction in 2025 for Vijay's re-election as Tamil Nadu CM, which then occurred in 2026. Meanwhile, Congress leaders in Tamil Nadu are threatening to resign from the state government if Vijay's party does not publicly back Rahul Gandhi's candidacy for prime minister in the upcoming elections, which could imperil the Congress-TVK coalition.
