The TVK party projects its leader and Tamil Nadu chief minister for prime minister, causing disagreement with its coalition partner.

Minister backs prime minister pitch

Tamil Nadu Minister K.A. Sengottaiyan publicly backed supporters of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) who are projecting party president and Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay as a prime ministerial candidate for 2029, the Hindustan Times reported. Sengottaiyan said Tamil Nadu had shown faith in Vijay and that the party leader was 'very clear' on his ambitions, according to the news agency ANI. He added that Vijay's TVK, formed two years ago, had achieved a major victory and that the chief minister was taking all necessary steps for the state's people.

Posters spark coalition disagreement

The public debate began after posters appeared in Thoothukudi featuring Vijay with the phrase 'Tomorrow’s PM,' put up by a TVK functionary. TVK leaders, including MLA Kanimozhi Santhosh, have supported the idea, with Santhosh predicting a 'shocking change' in Indian politics by 2029, the Hindustan Times reported. Other senior TVK ministers have argued the country's top constitutional office should be held by a leader from Tamil Nadu.

Congress threatens cabinet resignations

The TVK's coalition partner in the Tamil Nadu state government, the Congress party, has expressed strong disagreement with the prime minister projection for Vijay. Congress leaders in the state have threatened to resign from Vijay's cabinet if TVK does not accept Rahul Gandhi as the next prime ministerial candidate, the Hindustan Times reported. The Congress party holds five seats in the TVK-led coalition government.
