The party said it would resort to legal recourse if the poll panel did not accept its demand.

The decision was taken at a meeting held here attended by party MPs, MLAs and District Secretaries.

The remaining three seats – Ottapidaram, Thiruparankundram and Aravakuruchi were locked in judicial battles, the panel said
