Chennai, April 9 -- Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Thursday slammed TVK Chief Vijay's claim that real Congress cadres, who are striving hard to save the secular fabric, are in support of his party.

Rebutting the statement, Shivakumar clarified that the Indian National Congress stands firmly with the DMK, dismissing any suggestion that grassroots workers have aligned with TVK.

"Vijay is an immature politician. He doesn't know maturity. I think he might have that TMC with him, that's all. The Indian National Congress is not with him. He might have TMC with him. The Indian National Congress is with DMK...The alliance will have a two-thirds majority..." said Shivakumar.
