Minister K.N. Nehru has challenged coalition partners to withdraw their support if they have any self-respect, asserting that the current government remains in power only due to the backing of DMK-led alliance members. Addressing remarks made by Minister Aadav Arjuna, Nehru stated that while the DMK acknowledges the electoral success of its partners, those dissatisfied with the alliance should attempt to form a government independently.
Nehru further highlighted historical context, noting that the DMK provided critical support to the Congress party when it faced electoral defeats during the 1980s.
