DMK slams RaGa over silence on TN voter deletions

Chennai — The opposition DMK lashed out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, criticizing his silence on allegations of voter deletions in Tamil Nadu, according to a X post on October 6. DMK spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai questioned Gandhi's stance on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Tamil Nadu, accusing him of inconsistent positions on electoral roll revisions.

Annadurai demanded clarification as to why Gandhi has not endorsed a statement by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, who reportedly suggested that state governments elected post-SIR should be dissolved. Annadurai also wondered if Gandhi's reluctance to address the issue stemmed from fear of actor Vijay speaking out in the state.

The DMK further labeled Gandhi as a "duplicitous man," stating "Once a skunk, always a skunk." The DMK-Congress alliance dissolved after the 2026 state assembly polls when Congress supported Vijay's TVK party to form the government, leading to a bitter fallout between the two parties.
