Chennai:
The DMK Saturday inked a seat-sharing deal with the Indian Union
Muslim League (IUML) for the ensuing Tamil Nadu assembly polls,
taking the total number of such deals to two.
Representatives of both the parties met at DMK's headquarters here
Saturday and arrived at a deal whereby IUML will contest from
three constituencies.
The DMK had earlier entered into an agreement with PMK for 31
seats.
Meanwhile, DMK's seat sharing talks with its major ally Congress
remained inconclusive after the second round Friday.
"We have put forward several proposals. I am not in a position to
say what they are. Once the talks fructify, we will announce the
details," Tamil Nadu Congress chief K.V. Thangkabalu told IANS.
He declined to confirm or deny whether Congress is seeking a share
in power if the alliance is voted back to power, and if it wants a
Common Minimum Programme (CMP) and around 80 seats to contest in
the ensuing polls.
According to DMK leaders, the party is not agreeing for pre-poll
agreement on power sharing and is willing to part with only 53
seats for the Congress as it has to accommodate few more parties
into its fold.
Further, the DMK on its own should contest from at least 130 seats
so as to have a chance of securing majority on its own in the 234
member Tamil Nadu assembly.
For the past five years, AIADMK General Secretary J. Jayalalithaa
has been calling the DMK government a "minority DMK government",
irking the ruling party that has 99 members in the house and is
supported by allies like Congress and VCK.
With 34 seats gone -- 31 to PMK and three to IUML -- there are 200
seats to be shared amongst DMK, Congress, VCK and few other
parties.
