The state Congress chief said, “There are talks in every election, and every party will demand more seats, and eventually some agreement will be reached. Same will happen here. We are asking for a few more seats, and some agreement will be reached.” He said, “The DMK and Congress, INDIA alliance, is a natural alliance, an ideological alliance. Where is the disagreement? In every election, all parties, even small parties, demand more seats. Whatever we need, we will demand. Our Chief Minister, Stalin, will definitely think about it. There is no problem; everything is going well.”
