Chennai, March 14: After hard bargaining over seat sharing with its key ally Congress, ruling DMK will on March 16 release its list of candidates for the April 13 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls.
Party president and Chief Minister M Karunanidhi would release the candidates list at a press conference here, a DMK release here said.
The party is to contest 120 seats, after allotting 63 seats to key ally Congress and 30 to PMK among others.
While Karunanidhi had announced last week at the end of seat sharing discussions with Congress that his party will contest from 121 seats, he had allotted one seat to Peruthalaivar Makkal Katchi, a Nadar community outfit, on Sunday, bringing down his party’s tally by one seat.
