Thirumavalavan Announces VCK Will Fight Solo in 3 Puducherry Constituencies
Puducherry: The VCK has made a major decision regarding the 2026 Puducherry Assembly elections. The party has announced that it will contest three assembly seats in Puducherry independently. These seats include Oosudu, Nettapakkam, and Uzhavarkarai. This decision has sparked a political uproar in Puducherry.
VCK leader Thirumavalavan clarified that the party will contest the elections in Puducherry independently, not as part of any alliance. He stated that the party had previously demanded three seats, but an agreement on seat sharing could not be reached.
Seat-sharing arrangements with the DMK alliance in Tamil Nadu have not yet been finalized. Meanwhile, in Puducherry, the Congress party has not taken the initiative to allocate seats to other allies. This has led to a continued deadlock within the alliance regarding seat-sharing.
The VCK's decision could also impact coalition politics in Puducherry. The party's decision to contest the elections independently could alter the equations and impact the strategies of other parties. According to political analysts, this decision will make the electoral contest more interesting.
