Congress Contesting Fewer Seats in Tamil Nadu Polls, But it Might Not Be a Bad Deal
After Rahul Gandhi returned from his foreign visit in January this year, the first state the Congress leader visited was Tamil Nadu. Since then the Gandhi scion has visited the poll bound state multiple times keeping in mind that the party will be able to bargain hard in seat-sharing formula with DMK-led alliance, as well as, in the hope of putting a strong show like in the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections.
But the seat-sharing agreement with DMK didn’t materialise as per the expectations of Congress. The grand old party could get only 25 seats, which is 13 seats less than what they had in 2016 within the same alliance. Last time, the party had contested in 41 assembly seats but could win only 8 seats.
