00:00And some more news coming in on the story.
00:02TVK ready for Prime Minister Vijay.
00:04But the Congress party, which is its ally, is unimpressed.
00:07Congress sticks to Rahul Gandhi, only Prime Minister face stand.
00:10Congress MLA has said that TVK leaders are in fan club mode.
00:15And Congress MLA Cutbert has said that Rahul Gandhi is the Prime Minister face.
00:20And the TVK top leadership is yet to speak.
00:23Multiple TVK ministers back Vijay as the 2029 Prime Minister face.
00:27Congress has dismissed the TVK stance on Vijay's national role.
00:31In fact, the Congress party, the Congress ministers have also issued a warning
00:34that either back Rahul Gandhi for the Prime Minister's post
00:37or else we will quit from the Cabinet.
00:39And meanwhile, another Congress MLA has said that only Rahul Gandhi
00:43is going to be the Prime Minister face in 2029
00:47and that the TVK leaders are still in fan club mode.
00:50My colleague Pramod Madhav continues to stay with us.
00:53Pramod, another reaction coming in from the Congress party
00:56this time of Congress MLA Cutbert
00:58who is saying that Rahul Gandhi is the Prime Minister face for the opposition
01:01and that the TVK top leadership is yet to speak
01:04and that the TVK continues to be in fan club mode.
01:10Well, Anjali, not sure if we should call this as a denial mode
01:13or what because like in this assembly, in this pathway,
01:16it was Kanimari Santos who made a statement to us
01:18and then we got Tarek Cutbert exclusively
01:20where she went ahead and claimed that this is nothing but TVK MLAs
01:23who are in fan club mode.
01:24We once again told her that these are not TVK carers
01:27but MLA's chosen representatives who are making such statements
01:30for which she said they are still in fan club mode.
01:32That's the reason top level netas are not speaking about it.
01:35Anjali, the top level netas, be it Adiv Arjuna
01:38or be it Finance Minister Murray Wilson
01:39have also made the same kind of statement
01:41but Congress still seems to be in denial mode
01:43and Sathari Cutbert says that Rahul Gandhi
01:45will be the Prime Minister candidate for 2029, Anjali.
01:48All right, Pramu, thank you for those details.
01:51So, Ally Congress is quite uncomfortable
01:53with the growing chorus of Vijay for Prime Minister
01:56and despite senior ministers also from the TVK
02:00claiming that Vijay will be the Prime Minister,
02:03will become the Prime Minister in 2029,
02:05the Congress is still in denial mode
02:07and the Congress is saying that the top leadership
02:10from the TVK has not yet spoken on this issue
02:13and that Rahul Gandhi is the only face
02:16for the Prime Minister's post from the opposition.
