"People of Tamil Nadu are away from BJP-RSS ideology": TN Congress chief Selvaperunthagai

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], February 28 : Tamil Nadu Congress President K Selvaperunthagai on Saturday said that the alliance between the DMK and the Congress is natural and very intact, and asserted that even if Prime Minister Narendra Modi keeps visiting poll-bound state, the BJP won't be able to reap any benefits in the upcoming elections.
Speaking to reporters, Selvaperunthagai said discussions with the DMK regarding seat sharing have been progressing well.
"The alliance between the DMK and the Congress is natural, very intact. Today's talks were also very good. We are very happy to meet them. They also told us some things. We are only talking and negotiating with the DMK," Selvaperunthagai said.
Taking a swipe at the BJP, the Tamil Nadu Congress chief said the people here are "far away from the ideology of the BJP and RSS".
"Even if Modi comes to Tamil Nadu 100 times, he won't take anything from Tamil Nadu," he added.
The statement comes as political parties in Tamil Nadu are in the process of finalising seat-sharing arrangements ahead of the Assembly elections scheduled for the first half of 2026.
Earlier in the day, senior leaders arrived at the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) headquarters, Anna Arivalayam, in Chennai to hold discussions on seat-sharing arrangements with Congress for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
