Congress Lok Sabha MP S. Jothimani raises alarming concerns about the Tamil Nadu Congress unit in a strongly worded social media post on January 2, 2026. She describes ongoing internal conflicts and ideological dilution as “deeply distressing,” warning the party heads toward self-destruction ahead of crucial elections.
Jothimani Flags Unprecedented Obstructions
Jothimani highlights an “unprecedented” issue: party leaders allegedly block an MP from submitting booth agent lists to the Election Commission. She calls this unacceptable and symptomatic of deeper problems.
The Karur MP accuses certain elements of prioritizing selfish interests over ideology, shifting focus from public issues to internal strife. This deviates from Rahul Gandhi’s “selfless, principled, and fearless politics,” she adds.
Congress Warning Against External Threats
Jothimani warns Tamil Nadu faces “serious challenges” from communal and divisive forces waiting to exploit divisions. She urges unity to protect social justice, self-respect, and development legacies from leaders like Kamarajar and Periyar.
Cadres feel profound disillusionment as ideological positions dilute, she notes.This outburst follows recent alliance strains, including debt comparisons irking DMK and seat-sharing talks for 2026 polls. Internal factionalism intensifies, with detractors targeting state chief K. Selvaperunthagai.
