CPI(M) won’t participate in TVK’s second meeting with post-poll allies on September 9: Shanmugam
Last week, Ministers N. Anand, Aadhav Arjuna, C.T.R Nirmal Kumar and Rajmohan visited the office of the Left parties inviting them to participate in the meeting of the parties supporting the TVK.
CPI(M) state secretary P. Shanmugam announced on September 8, 2026, that his party would not participate in the second meeting of post-poll allies convened by the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) on September 9. Shanmugam stated that while the CPI(M) would continue to provide outside support to the ruling party in the Assembly, there is a proposal to develop a common-minimum-programme by the TVK and its allies, to which the CPI(M) would contribute its perspectives.
The CPI(M) also expressed readiness to share its views on the proposed programme, as reported by The Hindu.
