Tamil Nadu Makkal Congress
Tamil Nadu Makkal Congress (Tamil Nadu People's Congress), is a political party in Tamil Nadu, India. It was founded on December 21, 1997 by the former Tamil Nadu state Congress chief Vazhappady K. Ramamurthy.[1] After forming the party Ramamurthy announced that it would have an alliance with AIADMK in the upcoming Lok Sabha election.[1] A few days later, J. Jayalalitha announced that TNMC was entered the AIADMK-led front, although she denied having engineered the split in the Congress Party.[2]
