Namakkal (Tamil Nadu), February 22 TVK Chief Coordinator K A Sengottaiyan on Sunday criticized BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan over her remarks on the party's candidate selection process, calling them "unethical".
Responding to reporters' questions here regarding Soundararajan's comments that there were "no takers for TVK seats" despite hundreds of applications being issued, Sengottaiyan said it is inappropriate for leaders to comment on other parties without proper information.
"It would not be ethical for members of one party to criticize others. She does not know the actual number of people who have submitted their application forms. Making such remarks without knowing the facts is not befitting a person of her stature," he said.
Regarding alliance talks and seat-sharing arrangements, the former minister noted that while other parties are currently engaged in discussions, the TVK leadership is carefully deliberating its next steps.
"As far as we are concerned, other parties are doing it. Our leader will analyze the situation and soon take the necessary actions," he added.
Asked about the timeline for coalition finalization, Sengottaiyan remained tight-lipped, but expressed confidence in the party's strategy.
He remarked that while all parties are currently forming alliances, the true impact of these groupings would only be visible during the elections.
"You will see on the electoral field how everyone joins the alliance and works together as a single team," he told reporters.
