PETALING JAYA: MIC president G Palanivel has indicated his party’s readiness to swap seats with other Barisan Nasional parties for the coming general election.The Tamil daily Makkal Osai today quoted him as saying that MIC was interested in seats in Kedah and Penang.
The statement was a departure from his declaration last July at the party’s annual general meeting that MIC was not interested in swapping seats although it was open to talks if approached by other BN parties.
“We will not let go of the nine parliamentary and 19 state seats,” he said at the AGM, referring to the BN allocation to MIC for the 2008 election. In that election, the party won only three parliamentary and seven state seats.
