Opposition bloc or CJP? Why DMK is in a fix over SIR protests

DMK’s active participation in anti-SIR protests could mar its prospects of a possible alliance with BJP for the 2029 Lok Sabha pollsCaught between old allies and new challenges, the DMK seems to be walking a political tightrope. As the Congress and other INDIA bloc parties intensify their protests against the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists and other alleged electoral irregularities, the DMK, whih has a significant presence in Parliament – with 22 Lok Sabha MPs and 8 Rajya Sabha members – faces a deep dilemma.
