Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president K. Selvaperunthagai, on Thursday, March 7 2024, made it clear that ongoing seat-sharing talks with the DMK for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, were proceeding smoothly, and there were no bitter feelings between the two parties.
Addressing journalists at the TNCC headquarters, Satyamurthi Bhavan in Chennai, Mr. Selvaperunthagai wondered why the media was in a hurry [to speculate upon the seat-sharing] when the DMK had not yet completed talks with regional parties in the State. “The date for the elections has not yet been announced. A decision on seat-sharing will be finalised in a few days,” he said.
Asked about the report about a young Congress MP being in touch with the AIADMK and could possibly switch over to that party, he said there was no basis for this speculation. “We are all in touch with one another and there is no indication about such a move,” he said.
