Chennai, Dec 26: BJP Tamil Nadu unit today said it
was not averse for a poll tie up with like minded parties for
the next Lok Sabha polls in the state.
State unit president C P Radhakrishnan, told reporters
that the party's doors were open for any party, which accepted
the leadership of the Prime Minister A B Vajpayee for the next
parliamentary polls.
"Our poll plank will be the achievements of the NDA
government and hence any party, which accepts the leadership
of Vajpayee, can join our front", he said. He further said that his party
has maintained equi-distance from both the DMK and the AIADMK.
He said DMK's reasoning for quitting the NDA was not
good. "They have decided to quit and are going in search of
reasons for their decision", he said and expressed his
happiness over the PMK's decision to continue in the NDA and
appealed to the MDMK to take the same decision.
"We want all our allies to be with us", he said.
He said the political parties in Tamil Nadu should speak
in one voice to get justice to the state on the Cauvery issue.
"Unfortunately, political parties here are divided on the
issue", he said.
He said that the political parties were 'unnecessarily'
blaming Vajpayee on the Cauvery issue, forgetting the fact it
was he who had taken the intiative to form the Cauvery River
Water Authority.
