Tamil Nadu's ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) plans a meeting with allies amid growing tension with Congress over the 2029 Lok Sabha Opposition leadership. 

Some TVK leaders support Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay as the prime ministerial candidate, challenging Congress's Rahul Gandhi. 

Congress rejects this, calling it a fan-driven idea and reaffirming Gandhi as their candidate. The rift is significant as TVK relies on Congress support for government stability, raising questions about their coalition's future ahead of the 2029 elections.
