In the ongoing power-sharing debates between political parties in Tamil Nadu, particularly between the Congress and DMK, Congress MP Manickam Tagore has advocated for the United Democratic Front (UDF) model from Kerala as a potential solution.
Tagore, addressing the issue, emphasized that under the UDF, coalition partners contest elections together and continue as governing partners post-results. This approach, according to Tagore, opposes the practice of sidelining allies once votes are counted, a sentiment that seems to resonate in the current political climate between the Congress and DMK.
While it’s unclear if this model is unique to UDF or shared by other political alliances within India, Tagore’s statement presents an interesting perspective in the context of ongoing power-sharing discussions. As these debates continue to unfold, the potential adoption of the UDF approach could offer a different dynamic in coalition politics.
