00:05We have some news that's coming in at this point in time.
00:07It's a big Tamil Nadu India seat-sharing scoop that we're getting for our viewers.
00:11Sources tell us that BJP is to contest in 27 seats.
00:14PMK gets 18 seats to contest.
00:17AMMK to contest in 11 seats.
00:19BJP's Piyush Goyal, AIADMK chief,
00:23Edipadipal and Sami signed the seat-sharing pact.
00:26India seat-sharing pact signed at the AIADMK headquarters.
00:29These conversations have been ongoing ahead of elections in the state of Tamil Nadu
00:33where the dream of a larger NDA seems to have materialized at this point in time
00:37but is always and as always with all political parties
00:41on who gets what just before elections is always a big talking point.
00:46BJP is now clearly looking at 27 seats within the NDA.
00:51PMK getting 18 seats to contest.
00:53AMMK to contest in 11 seats.
00:55Piyush Goyal is in fact looking at the affairs as far as the NDA is concerned.
01:00Seat-sharing talks with the AIADMK chief, Edipadipal and Sami.
01:05I'm going to go straight across to Anaga for more on that.
01:08Anaga, clearly no friction anymore as far as the seat-sharing conversation is concerned.
01:12AIADMK continues to be the biggest brother in this particular alliance.
01:16BJP also getting 27 seats in Tamil Nadu.
01:20How do you look at this?
01:22That's right.
01:23The AGMK adjunct has gotten the highest share of Dubai with about 18 seats.
01:28Second part for BJP was around 27 seats.
01:31And then comes the PMK with 18 and then about 11 seats for a PT within a current A and
01:39MK.
01:39So that's the kind of seat-share split-up that we are looking at.
01:42In fact, we are just moments away from Union Minister Piyush Goyal, who is the BJP's direction in charge,
01:48from the big announcement along with AIADMK's leader, FD-Payaniswami.
01:53We are reporting from the AIADMK headquarters and we're on standby for that big official announcement.
01:59In fact, these numbers are put out by our sources, what we are learning with our very close AIADMK sources.
02:06This means the series that has been saved by the BJP and the AIADMK.
02:11And as I speak, the leaders have already started walking in.
02:13PT within a certain meet for the first century, followed by everybody on this wave,
02:18and then Piyush Goyal, and then Anjubani Ramdas as well.
02:21The leaders have started arising for that big press meet.
02:24It's just going to begin.
02:26If you can just see those visuals that are coming from our train,
02:29you can really see how those leaders have just entered for making that big announcement.
02:34In fact, it's a big day indeed for the NDA.
02:36The deal has finally been seen.
02:38You know, if you look at the performance of the BJP and what they got, Anagha, last time around,
02:42is seven more than what they were given the last time in the last assembly elections in the state, isn't
02:47it?
02:47Now with 27 seats, they're getting way more than what they contested
02:51and way, way more than what they won the last time around,
02:54wherein they fielded 20 candidates and just won four seats.
02:57Yes, guys.
02:58In fact, last time, the BJP had won only four seats and the AIA-DNK had won 66 seats.
03:04So this time, it really looks like the BJP has gotten higher number of seats
03:08than what it contested last time.
03:11It has remained to be seen.
03:13The wrestling has just started.
03:14Ederpadi Parnaswami has just begun his speech, his greetings to the friends and the public.
03:20He's planned by Piyush Goyal and Al-Mamali Ramadar.
03:23That's Ederpadi Parnaswami, who has begun his breast meat.
03:31He's making a big announcement about seat sharing.
03:34All smiles along with Piyush Goyal.
