Chennai: In a blow to BJP's constant assertion that the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) led by actor-turned politician Vijayakanth was a part of NDA front, the party chief today said those who claimed that his party was part of their front may continue to do so.
"Let them continue to claim so," he told reporters in Chennai when asked about BJP's stand that DMDK continued to be with the NDA front in Tamil Nadu.
Speaking to reporters after participating in a blood donation camp held by his party, the DMDK chief maintained that there was "still time left" to discuss the alliance for the next year's Assembly election.
Vijayakanth also indicated that he would disclose about his party's stance at the right time.
On parties, including the DMK and People's Welfare Front comprising MDMK, CPI(M), CPI and VCK which had invited DMDK to join them to fight the state Assembly election together, he said, "I thank them for the invite."
DMDK, PMK and MDMK were the prominent allies of BJP during last year's Lok Sabha elections. But Vijayakanth on August 5 this year told reporters in Chennai that his party was not in alliance with anyone. However, BJP continued to claim that he was part of the NDA.
Ramadoss-led party had yesterday offered the Deputy Chief Minister's post to the BJP if elected to power, demanding that the saffron party should accept the leadership of their chief Anbumani Ramadoss.
