The BJP and the MDMK have announced an alliance for the Lok Sabha elections, becoming the first to do so in Tamil Nadu. The declaration at a press meet in Thayagam, the MDMK office here, was preceded by two hours of talks between state BJP chief Pon Radhakrishnan and MDMK chief Vaiko.
With the Congress and the main Dravidian parties DMK and AIADMK still working out alliances, the BJP and the MDMK have stolen a march on them. The contours of alliances in the state would not be clear until the Vijayakanth-led DMDK makes up its mind on feelers sent by the Congress, the BJP and the DMK. The understanding between parties for the February 7 Rajya Sabha polls would also indicate the nature of the alliances in store.
