The Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar) (transl. Tamil State Congress (Moopanar); abbr. TMC(M)) is an Indian regional political party in the state of Tamil Nadu. It was founded by the former member of parliament of the Republic of India G. K. Moopanar on 29 March 1996 as a breakaway faction from the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee.[2]
After the death of G. K. Moopanar, the party's officials chose G. K. Vasan, the son of the founder, to lead the party in 2002. The TMC(M) was merged with Indian National Congress from 2002 to 2014. The party was again formed after a split from INC in November 2014.
It is formerly in an alliance with the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and is part of the Indian political front, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in 2019.
