In a sharp political jibe, BJP Leader K. Annamalai has compared the Congress party to a 'plum cake' that the DMK and TVK are fighting over. Speaking on the recent political developments in Tamil Nadu, Annamalai remarked, 'DMK versus TVK over who's going to eat cake. Congress is going to walk away with the cake.' The comment follows a Christmas event in Kanyakumari where Congress and TVK leaders shared the stage, leading the DMK to reportedly boycott the function. India Today's Anagha Kesav reports that Annamalai's metaphor hints at the intensifying battle between the ruling DMK and Vijay's TVK to secure the Congress as an ally.
