Ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, the Congress has said that power sharing in a coalition government is necessary to effectively implement the promises made in its election manifesto.
Speaking to Asian News International (ANI) on Monday, December 22, Girish Chodankar, who heads the five-member committee formed to negotiate seat-sharing arrangements with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), said the party requires adequate time to prepare for the polls and identify suitable candidates.
“In Tamil Nadu, we have not been in power for the last 58 years. Yet, our cadres are highly motivated, working tirelessly and nurturing strong expectations,” he told ANI.
