TVK: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has lashed out, stating that the *Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam* is the reason for the by-elections taking place in the Dharapuram and Maduranthakam constituencies. Asserting that “they are trying to hide a kitten under a blanket—but it will eventually come out,” the CPM has sharply criticized Chief Minister Vijay.
