DMK leader Saravanan Annadurai has publicly questioned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi regarding the implementation and impact of 'SIR' (System of Individual Records) deletions in Tamil Nadu. The statement was issued while the Congress party was actively participating in protests in Delhi, highlighting a potential friction point between the two political allies.

Annadurai’s inquiry specifically asks for Gandhi’s position on the deletions, which have reportedly caused concern among certain groups in the state. While the DMK and Congress are partners in the INDIA bloc, this public challenge suggests internal disagreement or a demand for greater clarity on regional policy issues. The report from NDTV focuses on the timing of the statement, noting that it occurred during a period of heightened political activity in the capital. There is currently no official response from the Congress party or Rahul Gandhi regarding this specific line of questioning, and the broader implications for the alliance remain unclear at this stage.
