DMK likely to replace three Congress Lok Sabha constituencies

The Hindu  

The Tamil Nadu Congress party is anticipating that the DMK might replace three of the constituencies allotted to the party in 2019 Lok Sabha elections — Arani, Tiruchi and Theni — with three others — Cuddalore, Tirunelveli and Mayiladuthurai — in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, according to sources. The DMK has already agreed to part with 9 Lok Sabha constituencies in Tamil Nadu and the lone Lok Sabha seat in Puducherry. Elangovan lost the Theni Parliamentary constituency to O. P. Raveendranath, son of former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam, the Tiruchi and Arani Lok Sabha constituencies were won by Su. Congress sources in Tamil Nadu said they were hoping that the other Parliamentary constituencies in which the party had won in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, would be allotted to the party by its senior alliance partner, the DMK.
