New Delhi: The PMK will hold a meeting on Thursday to discuss Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi's rejection of its founder, S Ramadoss's demand for a seat in the Rajya Sabha.
The meeting in Chennai comes amid differences between the coalition partners over candidates for the March 26 polls in the state for the six Rajya Sabha seats.
Karunanidhi said there was no understanding that a Rajya Sabha seat would be given when DMK and PMK had signed an electoral pact under which Ramadoss's party was given 31 seats during the 2006 Assembly polls.
Though the ties between the parties are rather strained, Karunanidhi seems confident of PMK's support but rules out any possibility of allocating a Rajya Sabha seat to PMK, as it has already been given 31 seats during the 2006 assembly polls.
On Wednesday DMK clinched an agreement with other partners under which the party and Congress would contest two seats each leaving one seat to CPI(M).
Elections to the total of six Rajya Sabha seats in the state are to be held later this month.
