TN polls: CPI(M) holds firm on seat demand as CPI-DMK deal triggers alliance deadlock Chennai, March 19 (SocialNews.XYZ) The seat-sharing negotiations within the DMK-led alliance have hit a hurdle after the CPI agreed to contest five seats, breaking ranks with its Left ally, the CPI (M), which continues to insist on a higher allocation. The CPI’s decision to scale down its demand -- despite earlier joint discussions with the CPI(M) seeking six or more constituencies -- has surprised the party leadership and disrupted the alliance’s negotiation momentum ahead of the April 23 Tamil Nadu Assembly election.
