Cuddalore (Tamil Nadu), Sep 26 (PTI) Former TNCC chief K S Alagiri has claimed that it was his party’s right to ask ally DMK to allocate more Assembly seats to the party for contesting in next year’s election and also to demand a share in power.

The Congress, he said, deserved a representation matching its aspiration. “It is our right to ask for allocation of more seats in the Assembly poll, and a share in power,” Alagiri said.

Dismissing as "baseless" a charge that the Congress was contemplating switching alliance, Alagiri told reporters in Chidambaram on September 25 that the ruling DMK was a “friend.” “We are only asking for our rights. Congress has a bigger vote bank,” he insisted.

Alagiri’s plea comes days after TNCC chief K Selvaperunthagai was severely criticised by AIADMK genera
