Congress Whip Warns Allies on Internal Affairs
Manickam Tagore, a Congress leader, told other political parties in their alliance not to interfere in Congress's internal matters.
He was upset because some of these parties, like VCK, MDMK, CPI(M), and CPI, asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to punish Praveen Chakravarty.
Chakravarty had said that Tamil Nadu has a lot of debt, which made the DMK government and its allies unhappy.
Tagore said allies should not tell Congress how to run its party and should follow coalition rules.
He also asked the allies to keep their disagreements private and not talk about them in public.
Congress Whip Manickam Tagore asked allies to stop interfering in Congress's internal affairs.
Allies VCK, MDMK, CPI(M), and CPI criticized Praveen Chakravarty for his remarks on Tamil Nadu's debt.
Chakravarty compared Tamil Nadu's debt to Uttar Pradesh's, causing disquiet among DMK and its allies.
Tagore emphasized that allies should discuss differences within the coalition and not publicly.
Tagore urged allies to adhere to coalition ethics and discipline.
