On January 10th, the leaders of the state Congress party had accused that the DMK has violated the coalition by not awarding the fair numbers of posts to the Congress party. The Congress party had stated that it has contested in rural body polls without having any formal agreements and claimed that the DMK hasn't cooperated with the party at the district level. In a joint statement, President of TNCC KS Alagiri and Legislative leader of Congress party KR Ramasamy have said that the DMK hasn't allotted even a single seat of district panchayat chief to Congress party while the state goes for 27 district panchayat chief posts and they unanimously cited that this is against the coalition dharma.
