Following controversy over debt comments, Congress MP S Jothimani has accused the Tamil Nadu unit of internal conflicts and ideological dilution, warning it risks destruction ahead of elections.
Congress MP S Jothimani from Karur has escalated concerns over the Tamil Nadu Congress unit, posting on X on Friday that unchecked internal conflicts and ideological dilution are driving the party toward destruction. 'The events unfolding in the Tamil Nadu Congress are a source of profound concern,' she wrote, citing disillusionment among members.
She highlighted an unprecedented incident where the state unit allegedly obstructed her from submitting a booth agent list to the Election Commission. Contrasting this with national leadership under Rahul Gandhi's 'fearless politics,' Jothimani urged recommitment amid external threats.
Her post follows Praveen Chakravarthy's December 28 comparison of Tamil Nadu's debt to Uttar Pradesh's—detailed in prior coverage—which drew rebuttals from P Chidambaram, DMK, and others. Further fueling tensions, Chakravarthy's recent meeting with actor Vijay has sparked rumors of Congress members eyeing his Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) and demanding power-sharing in 2026 polls.
TNCC president K Selvaperunthagai called Jothimani a 'dear sister,' attributing her outburst to a local Karur electoral roll dispute, which he said is being addressed internally.
