TN Congress Units in Virudhunagar Demand Greater Power Share and More Seats
Two district executive committee units of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) in Virudhunagar have passed resolutions demanding a greater share in power and a higher allocation of seats in the upcoming elections. The resolutions were adopted on Monday during separate meetings held by the Virudhunagar West and Virudhunagar East district units.
Key Meetings and Leadership
The Virudhunagar West district meeting took place in the morning at Nehru Bhavanam in Rajapalayam, under the leadership of district president V Rajmohan. In the evening, the Virudhunagar East district unit convened at a private hall on Virudhunagar Bypass Road, presided over by district president M Krishnamoorthy. Executive committee members from across the district actively participated in both meetings, highlighting widespread support for the demands.
Resolutions and Demands
The key resolutions adopted at both meetings included:
- Seeking a substantial share in power for the party.
- Allocation of more Assembly and local body seats in the elections.
- A 30% share in local government in Tamil Nadu.
- Pressing for the party to be allotted the constituencies it seeks during electoral negotiations.
These demands reflect growing discontent within the party ranks over representation and influence in the state's political landscape.
Broader Context and Similar Actions
This move by the Virudhunagar units is not isolated. Similar resolutions were recently passed at a meeting of the Madurai South district executive committee in Thiruparankundram, presided over by Manickam Tagore. This indicates a broader trend within the TNCC, with multiple districts pushing for enhanced roles and better electoral prospects as election season approaches.
The resolutions underscore the party's strategic efforts to strengthen its position and ensure fair representation in Tamil Nadu's governance structures.
