NEW DELHI: A meeting between the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, L.K. Advani, and All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader, Jayalalithaa, later this week in Chennai has been postponed. “Ms. Jayalalithaa will be away from Chennai for a week,” Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters here on Monday. “She and Advaniji spoke to each other on telephone. She told him he would be welcome any day but she would not be able to receive him when he is in Tamil Nadu next week as she will not be in Chennai.” From their public statements, it seems that the AIADMK and the BJP think alike and hold similar views on the Ramar Sethu issue. The BJP is of the view that the AIADMK may not be swayed by the Dravidan versus Aryan card. DMK leader and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi has questioned the historicity of the “communal forces’ claim” that the Ramar Sethu was built by Lord Ram and his ‘vanar sena’ (army of monkeys) led by Hanuman to help cross the ocean to Lanka. One view in the BJP is that the outcome of any election in Tamil Nadu would depend on the ability of either the DMK or the AIADMK to stitch up a rainbow alliance with smaller parties and the Congress or the BJP. It is being conceded that the stance on Ramar Sethu may not have much of an electoral impact in Tamil Nadu.
