Nearly a month after the DMK and Congress finalised their poll pact for 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the Madhacharbatra Murpokku Kootani (Secular Progressive Alliance) has announced the seat-sharing arrangement for the 39 parliamentary constituencies across the state as well as Puducherry. The party met with its alliance partners at its Anna Arivalayam headquarters in Chennai’s Teynampet on Friday.
Speaking to media persons, DMK President MK Stalin made mention of the fact that prior to deciding upon the constituencies, the DMK, along with its allies came up with a resolution to institute a court-monitored CBI probe to deliver justice to the survivor in the sexual abuse of a college student from Pollachi.
The DMK will be contesting from Chennai South, Chennai North, Chennai Central, Sriperumbudur, Kancheepuram(SC), Arakkonam, Vellore, Dharmapuri, Thiruvannamalai, Kallakurichi, Salem, Nilgiris(SC), Pollachi, Dindigul, Cuddalore, Mayiladuthurai, Thanjavur, Thoothukudi, Tenkasi(SC), and Tirunelveli.
