On being asked whether Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has plans to open its party offices in Delhi and Colombo, Suresh Premachadran, TNA spokesman and MP, said that efforts are being taken to open the two offices but they will be opened only after the parliamentary election.

He further said that the list of TNA candidates for Eastern province has been finalized while the lists for Vanni and Jaffna districts are being drawn.

Meanwhile, Suresh Premachandran said that many intellectuals have applied for TNA ticket to contest in the parliamentary election.
