The DMK and Congress parties have dismissed a proposal to launch a 'Vijay For PM' campaign, stating they are not interested in endorsing a single candidate for the prime ministerial race.
At a recent meeting, representatives from the DMK and the Indian National Congress reviewed a proposal titled "Vijay For PM" that suggested a unified campaign for a candidate named Vijay. Both parties declined the pitch, citing concerns over the strategy and its alignment with their respective electoral plans.
The DMK spokesperson emphasized that the party will continue to pursue its own political agenda and will not align with a single individual for the national leadership. Similarly, the Congress delegation highlighted its commitment to coalition politics and the need to maintain a broader base.
While the pitch was presented by a group of political strategists, the parties clarified that they prefer to focus on their own campaign messages and policy priorities rather than endorsing a single candidate. The rejection was communicated in a statement released by both parties' media wings.
Observers note that the move reflects the parties' intent to avoid any perception of favoritism and to keep their electoral strategies distinct. The "Vijay For PM" pitch is expected to be shelved following the parties' decision.
