Seat selection lacks transparency; interests of party compromised: Cong MP Jothimani

CHENNAI: (Mar 28) Congress MP from Karur constituency, S Jothimani, has alleged a total lack of transparency in the party's constituency selection process as part of DMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu for the April 23 Assembly election, claiming the interests of the party have been "completely compromised".

"There's no transparency in the party's constituency selection. Our view that seats should be chosen after detailed discussion and with transparency was rejected by those in charge," Jothimani said in a strongly-worded social media post on March 27.

Congress was allotted 28 seats in the DMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu.
