DEMAND FOR MORE SEATS SHOULD NOT BE SEEN AS PRESSURE: VEERAPANDIAN
The New Indian Express Coimbatore
|March 04, 2026
CPI state general secretary M Veerapandian said that the demand for more seats by the alliance partners should not be seen as apressure for the DMK and emphasised on allocation of more seats for his party in the upcoming Assembly election than it contested in 2021.
-
In an interview to TNIE’s Prabhakar Tamilarasu, Veerapandian asserted that the presence of communists in Assembly is important as they bring ideological and political clarity to the alliance, and said protest of the Left parties should not be perceived as a protest against the government or the alliance.
What are your expectations from the upcoming election?
Our main expectation is to defeat the BJP. The union government is continuously interfering with the rights of states and weakening federalism. Such actions are harmful to India’s democratic structure.
This election will give people an opportunity to deliver a verdict against these tendencies.
In Tamil Nadu, the DMK-led secular alliance must continue strongly, and we are working towards strengthening that front.
How many seats is the CPI expecting in the alliance this time?
