Chennai: Elections in Tamil Nadu are just a month away, and while the Congress and DMK have agreed that they'll fight the election together, they haven't still decided just how. An unhappy sign of the negotiations - Ghulam Nabi Azad, the Congressman in charge of Tamil Nadu, skipped a scheduled meeting this morning with DMK chief Karunanidhi on seat-sharing (a third round of talks held last night was inconclusive).
The past few weeks have been tough on their relationship with the CBI's investigation into the 2G scam extending to some of the DMK's senior-most leaders including Mr Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi.
In the last state election, the Congress was given 48 seats. Now, it wants more. And while it currently supports the DMK government, if the alliance wins the election, the Congress wants to be included in the government.
The DMK will hold an internal meeting on Saturday to discuss the Congress' needs, along with its election manifesto.
