'Rahul Gandhi Will Make Vijay Sit in PM Chair in 2029': TVK MLA Amid Prime Minister Pitch Row over Tamil Nadu CM

Narayanasamy said Congress is not a slave to the TVK alliance and defended Rahul Gandhi as the INDIA bloc’s 2029 prime ministerial candidate.

  • On Wednesday, September 2, 2026, former Puducherry Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy defended Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi as the INDIA bloc's Prime Ministerial candidate during a press conference in Puducherry.
  • Responding to Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam leaders supporting Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay for Prime Minister, Narayanasamy stated the Congress party is "no slave" to the TVK-led alliance.
  • Dismissing opposition from the DMK and BJP, the Congress leader predicted Vijay would eventually endorse Gandhi, noting "the workers of every political party will speak in favour of their leaders out of enthusiasm."
  • Pivoting to local politics, Narayanasamy criticized Puducherry Chief Minister and AINRC founder N. Rangasamy, alleging he is "only interested in securing his Chief Ministerial position" rather than pursuing Statehood.
  • The former Chief Minister challenged Rangasamy to lead an all-party delegation to Delhi to demand Statehood, arguing he avoids issuing ultimatums to the BJP to protect his current position.
