While many in the state Congress seemed certain that the Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) will not hold, Rahul put doubts to rest as he told journalists at Aravakurichi in Karur district that the DMKCongress alliance would continue, and that his party had accepted DMK president M.K. Stalin as their chief ministerial candidate. The latter two went on record on January 30, say ing the alliance was on firm ground in Tamil Nadu, though he was quite evasive on how it would all work out in Puducherry.
It’s early days but both Stalin and the chief ministerial candidate of the ruling AIADMK, incumbent Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS), have hinted during electioneering that their respective alliances may have to accommodate more parties than last time, implying fewer seats for the main allies (the Congress and the Left for the DMK and the BJP for the AIADMK). Both the Dravidian majors foresee a tough battle ahead and are keen to play to their strengths and secure a majority on their own in this first election after the passing of leaders M. Karunanidhi (DMK) and J. Jayalalithaa (AIADMK).
