DMDK meeting hints at continuing in NDA combine
8 Jan 2015 12:27 AM GMT
BJP’s lead ally in Tamil Nadu, the DMDK, on Wednesday indicated it was continuing in the NDA coalition, with the party’s key decision-making bodies skipping any reference to the issue.
Actor-politician Vijayakant-led Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam held meetings of its Executive and General Council here in which 23 resolutions were passed, but none, however, referred to staying in or quitting the alliance.
All eyes were on the main Opposition party in state Assembly since former NDA constituent MDMK had recently quit the BJP-led alliance while another ally PMK has turned critical, with some BJP leaders like Subramanian Swamy asking it to get out of the coalition. Incidentally, no DMDK representative had reportedly met BJP national president Amit Shah during his first official visit here last month.
