The Congress party’s screening committee meeting led by former Chief V. Narayanasamy, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh and party general secretary Dinesh Gundu Rao held at the PCC office on Sunday plunged into chaos as party workers raised voice against the leadership for surrendering a major share of seats to DMK.
As Mr. Narayanasamy started speaking, a Congress worker Venketesh, hailing from Thirubuvanai constituency, raised a DMK flag and asked the leadership whether the Congress had sold the party to DMK. Soon, commotion prevailed with other members from Mangalam constituency also shouting at the leaders for surrendering to the Dravidian party.
