Villupuram, (Tamil Nadu), March 18 A decision on forming an alliance for the upcoming Assembly elections will be announced in one or two days, a top PMK leader said on Wednesday.
The party is divided into two factions, and the one led by Dr Anbumani, the son of party founder Dr S Ramadoss, has joined the NDA led by the AIADMK ahead of the crucial Assembly polls.
G K Mani, a close aide of PMK Founder S Ramadoss, who leads the other faction, said the party's administrative committee met twice at Thailapuram near Tindivanam to discuss the prospects of forming an alliance.
"Dr. Ayya (S Ramadoss) led the morning and afternoon sessions of the committee. He appealed to everyone to express their views in a healthy and democratic manner regarding forming an alliance for the upcoming Assembly elections," Mani told reporters.
"As the delegates expressed their views, he (Ramadoss) asked them about the constituencies in various districts and the people's mood on the ground," he said.
Responding to a query on the alliance, Mani said, "Although the administrative committee holds regular discussions, today's meeting is significant. The decision on the alliance will be announced in one or two days. Right now, I cannot tell you anything more than this."
PMK MLA R Arul echoed similar views. "Today, we had a series of discussions. Right now, we do not have any important announcements to share with you (the media)," he said, without elaborating.
