The DMK, upset at the Congress decision, has called off the alliance that has been in place since 2004. Chidambaram said while he respected the ties with DMK, the people's mandate this time demanded that Vijay be allowed to form government and not giving him the necessary support would have led to a stalemate. #NDTVExclusive | "Offered our support to TVK": Karti P Chidambaram ( @KartiPC ) to @jsamdaniel pic.twitter.com/Jf5MPlVHhK — NDTV (@ndtv) May 6, 2026 In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Chidambaram said: "The people have clearly voted for a new formation.
