Meanwhile, the CPI(M) has registered its protest on some issues, but party representatives will attend the meeting.
Why is DMK Upset?
The main reason for DMK's displeasure is believed to be a new political alliance by Congress.
According to reports, Congress has joined hands with actor Vijay's party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), which is not part of the INDIA alliance.
DMK leader TKS Elangovan has sharply criticized this move by Congress.

Congress is no longer a trustworthy party. I expect that many other parties will also consider leaving the INDIA alliance. The Aam Aadmi Party is also not attending the meeting.
Elangovan alleged that Congress claims to lead the alliance but does not take its allies into confidence.
Who Will Attend the Meeting?
Despite these differences, many senior leaders will mark their presence at the meeting.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi will be present.
Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee will also attend the meeting in person.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray will join the meeting virtually.
According to Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh, representatives from a total of 23 political parties are participating in this meeting. He claimed that the opposition alliance is completely united.
However, the absence of DMK and AAP has raised a big question mark on the efforts for opposition unity before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. It will be crucial to see how the alliance deals with these internal challenges.
