The alliance between the two parties was about to break

If party sources are to be believed, the alliance between Congress and DMK has been going on since 2004. The alliance between the two parties was on the verge of breaking this year. However, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram met Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin on Tuesday. There were long talks between the two parties, after which a seat agreement could be reached between the two.

Congress was insisting on increasing seats in the assembly elections. When talks did not work out between the two parties, the Congress high command sent Chidambaram for talks. It is being said that Stalin wanted to give only 25 seats to Congress but due to the meeting of Chidambaram and Stalin, Congress was able to get three more seats, after which now DMK agreed to give 28 seats to Congress instead of 25.
