An important meeting is going to be held between the top leadership of Congress and the state leaders regarding power sharing in Tamil Nadu. This meeting will be held tomorrow i.e. Saturday (January 17) at 4 pm at Indira Bhawan, the Congress headquarters in Delhi.
According to sources, in this meeting to be held tomorrow in Delhi, a formal demand for power sharing agreement will be placed by Tamil Nadu Congress. Party leaders demand that Congress should be given at least 6 ministerial posts in the state government. According to the information, many senior Congress leaders including Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and MP Rahul Gandhi, Organization General Secretary KC Venugopal, Tamil Nadu Congress President in-charge Girish, MP Manik Tagore will attend this high-level meeting.
‘Tamil Nadu should get more share than the current seat sharing’
Some state level leaders of Congress believe that the party should get more share in Tamil Nadu than the current seat sharing. According to a senior leader, Congress contests about 25 percent seats in the Lok Sabha. That means 10 out of total 40 seats, whereas only about 10 percent seats (25 out of 234) are available in the assembly. This imbalance also needs to be corrected.
According to sources, the Congress party is now considering the demand for 35 to 40 seats as against the 25 assembly seats it got in 2021. Meanwhile, after the emergence of actor-turned-politician Vijay’s party TVK, the stir regarding political equations within the Congress has intensified.
‘Advocating for possible alliance with TVK’
Congress sources told ABP News that many leaders are advocating for a possible alliance with TVK in view of the ground surveys and Vijay’s increasing popularity. However, on the other hand, DMK has adopted a tough stance regarding the coalition government. Cabinet Minister in Tamil Nadu Government, Periyasamy has clearly said that no coalition government will be formed in the state.
