The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, or DMK, is a regional political party based in the state of Tamil Nadu and the Union territory of Puducherry. As of March 2024, it is the party in power in Tamil Nadu — headed by Chief Minister MK Stalin — and the lead opposition in Puducherry.
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) can be translated as Dravidian Progressive Federation, and the party adheres to social democratic principles, championing equality and social justice while promoting Tamil nationalism. The party is known for its anti-Hindi imposition policy and for legalising and popularising self-respect marriages — that did not involve priests presiding over the ceremonies.
The DMK, which was founded in 1949, traces its roots to the Justice Party of 1916 (later known as Dravidar Kazgham) and the work of Thanthai Periyar and Perarignar Anna. It was founded by Annadurai as a breakaway faction from the Dravidar Kazhagam. The Justice Party aimed to advocate for the rights and representation of non-Brahmins and socially disadvantaged communities. It fought against caste-based discrimination, championed social justice, and worked towards upliftment through educational reforms and reservation policies. The party played a significant role in shaping the Dravidian movement and had a lasting impact on the socio-political landscape of South India.
Mr.Alagiri felt being insulted because the DMK top brass didn’t give the due respect to Mr.Ummen Chandy the top brass of Congress !
The DMK leader’s comment “We don’t need you you need us” added injury to insult felt Mr Alagiri the Congress top man in Tamilnadu !
Finally the Congress high-command Sonia Gandhiji had to beg to the DMK high-command Stalin “please don’t ditch the Grand Old Congress Party” ! How sad it is for Congress ?
DMK AND CONGRESS ARE TWO FACES OF A COIN .Both are family parties. History tells how taxes of citizens gone . Tamilnadu remained for years where they are. This is Gift by families. No body bothered. Now a small hope is lighting up due to modiji. That also these are spoiling
Congress party is non existent in Tamilnadu for the last two decades after Moopanar whose period Congress started reemerging as a force.Today, Congress party in Tamilnadu is totally faction ridden and the recently entered BJP has emerged more strongly than Congress. Last 3 Assembly elections, even though Congress party was given more number of seats than it deserved, because of internal squabbles, even the candidate selection could not be finalized till the last minute. The party is in really pathetic condition with mo cadres to work.Also, the present high command including Mr.Alagiri were openly discussing for alliance with Actor Kamalahasan ‘s party that has irritated and infuriated the DMK leaders.Today, the seats allotted to Congress is a winning seat fo ADMK who are flushed with money to maneuver the victory.
There are several parties in the DMK alliance and every one of them has to be satisfied.
Congress still wants to take the upper hand when their presence in the national level is fast decading.
Had the Congress party in Tamilnadu concentrated on the building up the party at grassroots level, such an awkward position would not have been faced.Their leader RahulGandhi behaves like a schoolboy without exhibiting any leadership qualities or political acumen.
Even giving fifteen seats to Congress is not worth considering their position.
No respect for congress now in south as well
