CPI (M) Stands Firm on Demand for Six Seats as Negotiations with DMK Reach a Standstill Ahead of Tamil Nadu Assembly Election

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has stated that it is unable to allocate additional seats to its allies in the current electoral alliance. The party has cited its commitment to accommodating several other groups within the coalition and has recently provided an extra three seats to the Indian National Congress. This decision reflects the DMKs strategic positioning ahead of upcoming elections, where coalition dynamics and seat-sharing arrangements are critical for maximizing electoral support. The partys leadership is currently engaged in negotiations to balance alliance interests while maintaining its own electoral strength.
