The DMK has revealed plans to initiate formal seat-sharing discussions with its alliance partners for the upcoming Assembly elections starting on February 22, following the conclusion of the State Budget Session. A dedicated committee will be formed by Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin to oversee these negotiations. The Tamil Nadu Assembly’s Budget Session is scheduled to run from February 17 to February 21, leading to a delay in alliance talks until after this period.
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin is expected to announce the formation of a committee for conducting seat-sharing discussions with alliance parties. DMK MP Kanimozhi emphasized the strong ties between the DMK and the Congress, expressing confidence in the smooth progress of negotiations and the stability of the current alliance. The party’s focus is currently on extensive groundwork in Tamil Nadu, particularly on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls to enhance democratic participation at the grassroots level.
The DMK is actively engaging its leaders and cadres in various organizational activities across Tamil Nadu, including mobilization campaigns like ‘Oraniyil Tamil Nadu’ and the ‘My Booth, Victorious Booth’ initiative. Party functionaries are conducting youth and women’s wing conferences, training camps at the booth level, and supporting the implementation of government welfare schemes. Additionally, senior leaders on the DMK’s election manifesto committee are touring districts to gather public feedback and have already received over 75,000 recommendations from citizens and stakeholders.
As the DMK intensifies its organizational efforts and gears up for alliance discussions, it is evident that preparations for the upcoming electoral battle are in full swing.
