Dubbing AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa as a 'bundle of contradictions', Union Home Minister P Chidambaram ruled out any post-poll tie up with her party saying that Congress differed with her on important issues and she cannot be accepted as a secular leader.
'Jayalalithaa's objective is not forming the Central government after the Polls. Her objective is to topple the Tamil Nadu government. How can Congress align with such a leader?,' Chidambaram told reporters here on Thursday night.
Calling Jayalalithaa a 'bundle of contradictions' Jayalalithaa said he did not expect a situation wherein there would be an alliance between Congress and AIADMK.
He said AIADMK was a party which supported 'Karseva' (on Ayodhya issue). "Jayalalithaa is a friend of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, who pursues anti-minority policies".
Chidambaram was replying to questions by reporters about Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi's comments on the issue of post-poll alignment.
Claiming that the NDA was "finished", Rahul had said, "Rahul Nitish Kumar JD(U) and Jayalalithaa (AIADMK) now faced the question (of options)".
