The DMK has so far not officially conveyed whether they will concede the promised seat now or in June 2022
The Congress will have to choose from several hopefuls for a Rajya Sabha seat from Maharashtra and another from Tamil Nadu that ally DMK had promised them, though the latter has so far not officially conveyed whether they will concede the seat now or in June 2022, when five Upper House seats from the State go to the polls out of 20 countrywide. The vacancy in Maharashtra arose on Congress’s Rajeev Satav’s death, and his wife is among the claimants for the secure seat. Five Rajya Sabha seats will got to the polls on October 4 - two from Tamil Nadu and one each from Maharashtra, West Bengal and Assam. In Tamil Nadu, the two seats fell vacant following the resignation of AIADMK MPs K.P. Munusamy and R. Vaithilingam, after being elected to the Assembly in this year polls. For Mr. Vaithilingam’s seat, only a 11-month tenure is left.
