elections, but no advance could be fabricated due to differences amid the two parties.
The DMK supremo said adapted from 2004, if the two parties addled an alliance, the accordance amid them were actual
bland and the axial and accompaniment governments were activity afterwards any confusion.
He said if talks were accomplished amid the parties, Congress was told that it would be accustomed 51 seats, which
was afterwards added to 53, 55 and 58. "When AICC accepted secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad met me two canicule ago, it

But afterwards accordant to assurance the poll accordance on Thursday, Azad, aswell a Union Minister, had alternate

The Congress appeal for the constituencies of its best was aswell "highly arbitrary and improper," he said.
In 2006 Assembly polls, DMK contested 132 seats, abrogation 48 to Congress, 31 to PMK and 23 to the Larboard
parties, he said. A absolute of 234 seats are up for grabs in the Assembly acclamation next month.

accordance with the Congress.
It was absitively that balance seats arising out of Larboard parties' avenue from the amalgamate would be aggregate
a part of both the parties afterwards allocating seats to new entrants like Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi and Kongu

secretary Sudheesh alleged on Jayalalithaa at her Poes Garden abode in Chennai, to adhesive the accord beneath which
the affair had been allotted 41 seats, a collective account appear to the media said.

In a account in Chennai, Karunanidhi said, "According to the formula, both parties agreed the Congress would get
alone 51 seats. But we offered 60 seats. Is it adapted to appeal 63 seats? Is it fair to apprehend us to accept

The DMK will authority an centralized affair on Saturday to altercate the Congress' demands, and will aswell

With all the altercation that the ally accept been mired in in the endure few months, accompanying with the
acceptable anti-incumbency challenge, this will not be an simple acclamation to fight. It does not advice that the
