DMK president M.K. Stalin condemned the clandestine, early-morning swearing-in of a government in Maharashtra, declaring that the country's revered constitutional principles and established conventions had been discarded by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. In the concluding post of a two-part statement, Stalin asserted that orchestrating government formation through the partisan misuse of high constitutional offices, including the Presidency and the Governorship, represents an egregious blow to Indian parliamentary democracy.

Stalin pointed out that coercing political alignments through indirect threats of central investigative agencies and clandestine midnight notifications sounds the virtual death knell for democratic processes. When statutory governors compromise their constitutional neutrality to function as partisan agents of the Union ruling party, it destabilizes federal trust and erodes public faith in democratic governance. Such brazen disregard for established legislative majorities sets an extremely dangerous precedent for all states across the country.

Stalin affirmed that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam will persistently raise its voice against the subversion of constitutional institutions and the abuse of executive authority. He reiterated that democratic mandates must be respected through transparent legislative floor tests rather than covert backroom operations orchestrated from New Delhi.
