Chennai: The seat-sharing agreement between the CPI and DMK for the May 8 assembly elections in the state was expected to be finalised in couple of days, CPI state Secretary D Pandian said today (Mar 06 2006).

"We expect the talks to conclude in a day or two", he told newsmen emerging out of a nearly 50-minute meeting with the seat sharing negotiation committee of the DMK at the DMK headquarters.

He declined to comment on the expectations of the party on the number of seats saying it would not be correct to do so when the process of negotiations was on.

Pandian was accompanied by other CPI leaders including R Nallakannu and C Mahendran.

On the DMK side, convenor of the committee Arcot and party Treasurer N Veerasamy, M K Stalin and Durai Murugan participated in the talks.
