Premalatha sulks as AIADMK offers 1 RS seat to DMDK in '26
The New Indian Express Chennai
|June 02, 2025
ENDING the suspense over whether the DMDK would get one seat in the current biennial election to the Rajya Sabha, the AIADMK on Sunday said the promised RS seat will be given to the DMDK in 2026.
In response, DMDK general secretary Premalatha Vijayakant said, "I see every move taking place here as one linked to the elections. Certainly, the DMDK's journey is no different. Our political positioning and actions in 2026 will also be geared towards the (2026 Assembly) election," she said, visibly disappointed with the non-allocation of one Rajya Sabha seat this year.
She also said already the DMDK made it clear that in January 2026, the party would announce its decision on alliance and other issues.
