Tamil Nadu is scheduled to witness elections on April 6 with the two major Dravidian major – DMK and AIADMK leading massive alliances in the state. While Congress is the second largest party in the DMK alliance with 25 seats, the PMK is the second largest in the AIADMK alliance with 23 seats.
The two alliances in the state are still determining alliances with smaller parties and have yet to decide which electoral districts will be assigned to various parties. The AMMK, for its part, has announced that it will fight the elections with AIMIM. On Monday, TTV Dhinakaran, the head of AMMK, published the list of three electoral districts assigned to AIMIM for the upcoming elections.
