K.S. Alagiri told IANS, “We have already commenced our preparations for the local body polls in the nine new districts of Tamil Nadu. We had a detailed meeting with party office bearers on Monday at the party headquarters and have chalked out strategies and plans for the win in the local body polls. We will continue our political alliance with the DMK in the elections.”

The senior Congress leader also said that in the 2021 Assembly elections, the party contested 25 seats and won 18. He said that among all the parties, Congress has the highest winning percentage in the Assembly elections.
