Congress to support TVK in Tamil Nadu, demands 2 cabinet berths: Sources

The Congress state unit in Tamil Nadu held an online meeting and decided to extend support to TVK. Congress is seeking a power-sharing agreement and is likely to demand two cabinet portfolios, along with a few board and corporation chairman posts, and other government roles such as trust members and directors. A report detailing the outcome of the meeting will be sent to the Congress high command for official approval. TVK currently holds 108 seats, and the support of the Congress party will add five more seats to its tally. The final decision rests with TVK as the parties remain in the negotiation phase. Official communication will be sent to the high command, and a final outcome regarding the alliance and power-sharing demands is expected by tomorrow morning or afternoon.
