Union minister Piyush Goyal is scheduled to arrive in Chennai on Monday to finalise seat-sharing for the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly polls. BJP state president Nainar Nagenthran said the party's election manifesto and alliance specifics would be clarified following high-level discussions with the Union minister.
The announcement comes amid intensifying verbal volleys between the BJP and the ruling DMK. Reacting to chief minister MK Stalin's repeated 'Delhi' jibes, Nagenthran claimed that the DMK leadership is 'trembling with fear' over the BJP's growing footprint.
The DMK has offered five seats to its ally, CPI (M), for the forthcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly polls. CPI (M) state secretary P Shanmugam said the Left party's executive committee will meet soon and take a final decision.
