Congress rejects BJP-DMK alliance buzz as Stalin weighs stand on delimitation bill
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh rejected any possibility of a BJP-DMK alliance, citing differing ideologies.
Ramesh said DMK remains an opposition party and Congress is in contact with DMK MPs.
DMK is studying the Delimitation Bill and will decide based on its merits to protect Tamil Nadu's interests.
DMK discussed a 50% increase in seats and retaining existing seat distribution among states at its MPs' meeting on July 16.
The political dynamics changed after Tamil Nadu assembly elections, with Congress ending its alliance with DMK and joining TVK.
