Overview

  • The All India Congress Committee named Girish Chodankar to lead the panel, joined by Suraj Hegde, Nivedith Alva, K. Selvaperunthagai, and S. Rajeshkumar.
  • The committee will convene on November 23 at Sathyamurthy Bhavan to prepare its negotiation framework.
  • An official intimation on the panel’s formation is expected to be sent to DMK president and Chief Minister M. K. Stalin before formal talks.
  • Party leaders say the move targets clarity on seat allocation for the 2026 Assembly election and seeks to quell talk of a possible Congress–TVK alignment.
  • Senior leader P. Chidambaram welcomed the decision, and party sources said the mandate includes discussing both seat share and Congress’s role in any future coalition government.
