Congress has started laying the political chessboard for the upcoming assembly elections in Tamil Nadu. Congress MP Manickam Tagore on Saturday stressed on MK Stalin’s alliance with DMK. He has said that the Congress party wants to win those seats which DMK had lost in the 2021 elections. Also, emphasis has been given by Congress on power sharing in the state. However, a few days ago DMK had rejected the possibility of any kind of power sharing.
This reaction of Congress leader Manickam has come on the statement given by DMK leader and Minister of State RS Raja Kannappan in Madurai on February 13. In this he had said that DMK will contest on 170 seats in the coming elections and will win 160 seats.
What did Manikam Tagore say in the post?
Responding to this, Virudhunagar MP Tagore posted on X. He said, ‘In 2021 you contested elections on 173 seats. Won 133 seats. We are demanding those seats which you have failed to win. Power sharing is necessary in the state. Sharing in power is our right. People will decide.
During this, he also shared a video of Raja Kannappan’s speech. However, Kannappan has denied any such possibilities and claimed to have won 160 seats.
DMK’s Stalin had refused the alliance
Actually, there are 234 seats in Tamil Nadu. The DMK and Congress alliance had won 151 seats in the 2021 elections. However, Stalin had recently refused any kind of alliance.
Stalin said, ‘We also know that this will not work in Tamil Nadu. He also knows this. This is a problem created by some people. They are deliberately conspiring that there will be a rift in the India Alliance. We are not worried about it. Rahul Gandhi is also not worried.
Congress and DMK will start talks on alliance
Here, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee President Selvaperunthagai announced in Chennai that talks on formal alliance between Congress and DMK will start from February 22. Despite BJP’s attempt to weaken the India alliance, the India Bloc remained united.
Here, Selvaperunthagai said that the election process is going very smoothly. We are going to start talks on this from 22nd February. BJP is thinking, nothing will happen there.
He said that BJP wants to throw out anyone from India Alliance to divide the vote bank, but this will not happen. We are with the Alliance.
