Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) chief MK Stalin's son, Udhaydhi Stalin on Monday said that the party will over 200 seats in Tamil Nadu.
"DMK will win over 200 seats in the upcoming polls. We'll definitely talk about Jayalalithaa's death in poll campaign," he said.
Udhaydhi further said that the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) had approached the Election Commission seeking them to direct DMK to avoid any reference to the former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa's death in poll campaigns.
Responding to Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan's comment that both AIADMK and DMK are not support-worthy he said, "I don't want to comment on Kamal Haasan. We don't take him seriously."
The 234-members Tamil Nadu assembly elections will be held in a single phase on April 6 and the counting of votes will take place on May 2.
