Chennai: Tamil Nadu's ruling DMK Tuesday conceded the Congress demand to
contest from 63 seats in assembly elections, ending a bitter row between the
two long-time allies, informed sources said.
The sources said it had been agreed that the DMK and two of its allies, the
PMK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), would give up one seat each
from their quota to meet the Congress demand.
On Saturday, the DMK took back its support to Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh's government after saying it was not ready to give 63 of 234 seats to
the Congress in the April 13 assembly elections.
