In T.N., Cong. sees itself as mobiliser of minorities

With the DMK likely to play hard ball with the Congress during the impending seat-sharing talks for the Assembly election, the national party believes it acts as the ‘multiplier’ and can mobilise the minorities to vote for the alliance. While the DMK was liberal in allotting seats to the Congress during the Parliamentary election, it is expected not to be generous this time citing the party’s poor “strike rate” in the last two Assembly elections.
