Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, Feb 02: The bonhomie between the BJP and the AIADMK, which have renewed their ties after a gap of nearly five years, was evident today with Prime Minister A B Vajpayee praising the achievements of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa. ''We value our partnership with Jayalalithaa and under her leadership, Tamil Nadu has made impressive strides in social and economic sectors,'' the Prime Minister said participating in the ground breaking function for the Kanyakumari-Madurai stretch of the NH-7 here under the north-south corridor.
The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and the Prime Minister shared the dais after a long gap at the function.
Only yesterday, Jayalalithaa had hosted a dinner for Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani, who was in Chennai.
Vajpayee said the new road development project would accelerate the growth in Tamil Nadu.
