DMK may offer 27 assembly seats, 1 RS berth to ally Cong

In a strategic move ahead of the upcoming Tamil Nadu elections, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is reportedly considering a proposal to allocate 27 assembly seats and one Rajya Sabha seat to its ally, the Congress party. This potential offer comes amid ongoing discussions regarding power-sharing arrangements between the two parties, reflecting the complex dynamics of coalition politics in the state. The DMK aims to strengthen its alliance with Congress as they prepare to confront various political challenges in the region. Historically, both parties have collaborated in Tamil Nadu, but tensions have occasionally arisen over seat allocations and campaign strategies. As the elections approach, the DMK's proposal signifies an effort to solidify their partnership and present a united front to voters, which could be crucial for their electoral success in a state known for its vibrant political landscape.
