Congress To Join Tamil Nadu Cabinet After 59 Years As Vijay Expands TVK Government

The Congress party is set to return to the Tamil Nadu cabinet after 59 years as two MLAs — Rajesh Kumar and P Vishwanathan — prepare to join Vijay’s TVK-led government as ministers. The move marks a historic political shift in the state and has triggered sharp reactions from the DMK, which accused Congress of “backstabbing” the alliance after the 2026 Assembly elections.
