According to insiders, Congress initially targeted 40 Assembly seats as an ideal goal. The DMK has reportedly offered 32 seats. Congress leaders later revised their demand to 38 seats. Negotiations continue as both sides assess electoral strength and alliance balance.

The Tamil Nadu Congress unit has also explored a possible understanding with actor Vijay’s party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. Sources say leaders have briefed Rahul Gandhi on this option. The move gained attention after TVK called Congress a natural ally.

Congress MP Manickam Tagore said the party seeks a share in governance, not just seats. He said workers expect representation if the alliance wins. TVK leaders said Vijay will decide alliance moves after consultations. They noted that two months remain before elections.

Commenting on Tamil Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay attracting massive crowds, Kamal Haasan said the same principle applies to all political leaders. Leaders must not assume that crowd attendance directly translates into votes.

He urged Vijay to continue his political journey courageously while following a righteous path. Kamal Haasan added that the focus of any leader should be on serving the public and doing good for the people.

Vijay is currently touring Tamil Nadu ahead of the state assembly elections, drawing huge crowds at his rallies. Kamal Haasan’s remarks came in response to the attention surrounding Vijay’s public popularity and electoral ambitions.
