Political stalemate continues in TN between Cong & DMK

Political stalemate continues in Tamil Nadu over the seat sharing issue between the Congress and the DMK for the Assembly polls. The DMK decides to pull out of the UPA government at the centre and give only issue based support to it. The DMK is ready to offer 60 seats in the Assembly polls to the Congress but the party is insisting that it should be given 63 seats of their choice. The Congress had contested 48 seats in the last Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu. Senior DMK leader T.R.Balu however indicated that his party could review its decision if the Congress relents over the seat sharing issue. He said, all the six Union Ministers of DMK will hand over their resignations after a meeting with the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and there is no move to fax their resignations. Mr. Balu said, the decision to pull out of the UPA government has nothing to do with the 2G Spectrum scam issue. Senior Congress leaders held informal consultations in New Delhi with PCC leaders of Tamil Nadu. They said, they do not see any threat to the DMK-Congress alliance in the state and are hopeful that the issue will be resolved.
