The Hindu
Tamil Maanila Congress president G.K. Vasan on Thursday expressed disappointment over the number of Assembly seats offered to it by the AIADMK. He said the party has reverted to the leader of the alliance and is hoping that the AIADMK will enable the voice of the TMC to be heard in the State Assembly following the April 6 polls.
“We have asked for 12 seats. They have said that’s not possible and have offered us six seats. I have told them our position and we are waiting for them to call us. We have sought the seats and the constituencies only based on the prospects of our victory and no other calculation,” he said.
