Vijay should continue to be CM; Rahul Gandhi is PM candidate: TNCC president

Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president B. Manickam Tagore addressed the media in Chennai, stating that Chief Minister Vijay should continue in his role and that Rahul Gandhi is the prime ministerial candidate. Tagore expressed concern over media conspiracy to damage the relationship between the Tamil Verizhigal Kazhagam (TVK) and the Congress party.

He also urged for the erection of Puli Thevan's statue in the Parliament of India. Tagore claimed that despite the State Unit urging for Rahul Gandhi to be accepted as the PM candidate, the Congress will consider quitting Vijay's Cabinet if the proposal is not fulfilled.
