The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) have sealed a seat-sharing pact for the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly election. Formerly known as the Dalit Panthers of India, the VCK has been allotted six seats which include Vanur, Kattumannarkoyil, Cheyyur, Arakkonam, Nagapattinam and Thirupporur. The DMK has also given six seats each to the CPI and Vaiko's MDMK. The DMK that is eyeing a return to power in Tamil Nadu gave only 25 seats to the Congress despite relentless pressure from the latter and after an invitation from actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan to the grand-old-party to join his 'third front'.More Related News
