Speaking at a Congress conference in Tirunelveli, Girish Chodankar All India Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry Congress Committees announced that the Indian National Congress is firmly committed to contesting 125 seats in the forthcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
During his address, Chodankar emphasized that the event was not just a state-level gathering but a significant message to the nation, showcasing the party’s grassroots strength in Tamil Nadu. He highlighted that the Congress has successfully established 22,000 village-level committees across the state.
“In a conversation with Rahul Gandhi, I told him that he could meet over two lakh dedicated members from these committees anytime he visits Tamil Nadu,” Chodankar said. He also added that both Rahul Gandhi and party president Mallikarjun Kharge have expressed their intent to visit the state and personally interact with these village committees.
“We are preparing with a focus on 117 constituencies, but our clear goal is to contest 125 seats in the assembly elections,” he said, urging party workers to begin organizing and identifying seats accordingly.
He further alleged that over the past decade, there have been consistent irregularities involving electronic voting machines during elections, claiming that Rahul Gandhi had exposed what he referred to as “vote theft.”
These remarks underscored the Congress party’s electoral ambitions and its ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in Tamil Nadu ahead of the next assembly polls.
