Miffed PT asks AIADMK to allot at least 9 seats
Krishnasamy hopes Jayalalithaa will consider demand
“Poor allocation dashed the spirit of office-bearers”
“Party needs at least nine seats to get EC recognition”
Expressing unhappiness over allocation of two Assembly seats, Puthiya Tamizhagam leader K. Krishnasamy has requested AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa to allot at least nine seats to his party.
Talking to reporters after the district secretaries' meeting of the party, Dr. Krishnasamy the said the poor allocation had dashed the spirit of office-bearers and would reflect during election work.
He said the party needed at least nine seats to get the recognition of the Election Commission and galvanise cadres.
Asked why he accepted two seats in the first place, Dr. Krishnasamy said that he did not want to react negatively at that time since the PT was the first to sign an agreement with the AIADMK.
“Moreover Ms. Jayalalithaa said more parties, including the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), will join the alliance and she needed seats for those parties. Since the PMK has joined the DMK alliance she can consider our case,” he said.
Dr. Krishnasamy said he had also written to Ms Jayalalithaa seeking more seats. The PT had submitted a list of 24 constituencies to the AIADMK leadership.
He said that a 15-member committee had been constituted to hold talks with the seat-sharing committee of the AIADMK. He also has decided to meet Ms Jayalalithaa to request more seats.
Asked what would be his stand if she refused to allot more seats, he said, “I hope she will consider our reasonable demand.”
