The Statesman reported that TVK MLA Kanimozhi Santhosh again projected Vijay as the party's preferred Prime Minister candidate for 2029, while Congress voices continued to signal that Rahul Gandhi remained their national choice. The report follows earlier alliance-management meetings and competing public statements from TVK and Congress leaders. TVK Tracker records this as a national-positioning and alliance-coordination story, not as a governance-delivery claim. It matters for readers because TVK governs Tamil Nadu with support from alliance partners, so public disagreement over national leadership can affect legislative coordination, cabinet stability, and campaign messaging. The next public checks are whether Vijay or the formal TVK leadership issues an official line, whether Congress changes its floor strategy, whether cabinet participation is affected, and whether the disagreement remains rhetorical or becomes an institutional dispute.
