Pudukkottai: Senior Congress leader and former Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram expressed his dissatisfaction over the DMK high command's decision of allocating only 41 seats for Congress as part of the DMK-front, for the May 16 Assembly elections. He was dismayed that some of the constituencies were "forcibly given to us even without we asking for it."
Mr Chidambaram made this observation after declaring open a new building to house the Pudukkottai District Congress committee here on Sunday. However, Congress men will not stay away from the field due to this dissatisfaction, Mr Chidambaram clarified, adding, they were duty found to work jointly with the DMK-led allied parties for the May 16 election, and to work hard for the victory of the DMK-front.
He said it was the volunteers of the congress party, which had got weakened in the last few years, which were its strength as well as its weakness. Once the workers of the party strengthen, the congress too will be strengthened, he added.
