Overview
- CPI state secretary M. Veerapandian announced the party is not part of the DMK alliance while extending external support to the TVK government to respect the people's verdict.
- The CPI framed its move as a political duty that keeps the party independent and able to cooperate with Left partners rather than joining a broad DMK-led coalition.
- The party welcomed TVK positions on the Thirupparankundram issue and the two-language policy but warned the government must act quickly on law and order and implement its campaign promises.
- The CPI repeated that the BJP and RSS are its political opponents and said it will work with any democratic force to protect workers' welfare and secularism.
- The party said future stands on by-elections and local-body polls will be decided in party meetings based on circumstances, signaling case-by-case tactical choices going forward.
