DMK-Congress alliance vows to protect Tamil identity, says Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi frames the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections as a decisive ideological contest between the DMK-led alliance and the AIADMK-BJP combine. He accuses the BJP of exerting undue influence over AIADMK, threatening Tamil culture and traditions. Gandhi claims that such efforts pose a threat to Tamil identity and warns that external influence over regional parties can weaken democratic institutions and undermine federal principles.
