Tamil Nadu Assembly election: CPI (M) unrelenting in demand for six seats, stalemate in talks with DMK continues
The CPI(M) and the ruling DMK remain at odds over seat allocation for the upcoming Assembly elections, with the CPI(M) demanding six seats while the DMK is willing to offer only five. This impasse has raised concerns about the future of the alliance, as the CPI(M) insists on adhering to its State committee's decision and threatens to withdraw from the alliance if its demands are not met. The DMK, however, argues that it cannot afford to give more seats due to accommodating additional parties in the alliance.
