Communist Party of India (Marxist) politburo member G. Ramakrishnan on Sunday said in Vellore that the party has urged the DMK to allot its current Lok Sabha constituencies for the upcoming polls. The DMK has allotted two seats to the party, but the constituencies have not been finalised.
Talking to journalists on the sidelines of public donation for the party, Mr. Ramakrishnan said the CPI (M) has requested the DMK to allot the same constituencies allotted to it in 2019. At present, the CPI (M) represents Coimbatore (P.R. Natarajan) and Madurai (S. Venkatesan) in the Lok Sabha. “We will know it in a day or two. Thereafter, we will sign an agreement,” he said.
Pointing out the DMK had finalised seat sharing with the CPI, IUML and KMDK, he said an agreement will also be reached between the Dravidian party and Congress, MDMK and VCK soon.
