The State executive committee passed a resolution urging the BJP government at the Centre to withdraw the three farm legislation.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Alagiri said the party was organising a protest, in all the 234 constituencies in the State, on January 18.
Another resolution that was passed urged the CBI to take measures to vacate the stay on inquiry against Chief Minister Edappadi K.

If the actions are not taken, the party also warned of massive protests, before the CBI office in Chennai.
