Amid the continuing deadlock over seat sharing in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), AMMK general secretary TTV Dhinakaran held a phone conversation with AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami.
With the election announcement expected in the coming days, the delay in forming a committee for seat-sharing discussions has caused confusion among NDA cadres. There are also concerns that the uncertainty has prevented parties from launching an intensified election campaign.
Against this backdrop, Dhinakaran is learnt to have spoken with Palaniswami over the phone. Sources said the two leaders discussed the ongoing seat-sharing deadlock and reached a preliminary understanding.
Following the development, sources indicated that progress may soon be made in resolving the seat-sharing dispute and that a final decision could be announced in the coming days.
