No ties with AIADMK, says CPI (M) leader

S. Dorairaj

PUDUCHERRY: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) will not consider an electoral adjustment with the All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam even if it decided to stay away from the Bharatiya Janata Party, central committee member of the party W.R. Varadarajan has said.

Responding to AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa’s remark that it was too early to talk about poll alliance with the BJP, he told The Hindu here that she always held the cards close to her chest. The way she “broke away unceremoniously” with the United National Progressive Alliance during the Presidential election was an indication that the AIADMK was steadily moving towards the BJP.

Her open support to the BJP’s stand on the Sethusamudram Project and sending a message to the Viswa Hindu Parishad-sponsored conference in New Delhi to oppose the project, hailing Narendra Modi’s re-election in Gujarat and having a luncheon meeting with him in Chennai recently were all pointers that a BJP-AIADMK alliance was in the offing.

Recalling that many of the constituents of the NDA moved out of the combine after the debacle in the Lok Sabha poll in 2004, he said with the country moving towards the 2009 general elections, the AIADMK’s present move would help the BJP resurrect the fractured alliance.
