Defunct regional political party in Tamil Nadu, India
The Tamizhaga Rajiv Congress (TRC) was a regional political party in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It was founded by Vazhapadi K. Ramamurthy following his split from the Indian National Congress in the mid-1990s.[1] The party participated in state and national elections, at times aligning with larger coalitions such as the National Democratic Alliance.[2]
Vazhapadi K. Ramamurthy, a senior Tamil Nadu Congress leader, broke away following internal disagreements within the state Congress organisation. He launched the Tamizhaga Rajiv Congress to mobilise Congress-leaning voters and establish an independent political position in Tamil Nadu.[3]
The TRC contested state elections and took part in coalition politics during the late 1990s. Despite its limited organisational structure, the party briefly played a role in alliance negotiations at the national level.[4]
Merger with the Indian National Congress
[edit]
In 2002, Ramamurthy formally merged the Tamizhaga Rajiv Congress back into the Indian National Congress, effectively dissolving the party.[5]
