Chennai: MDMK founder Vaiko today met Aam Aadmi Party's Tamil Nadu leadership in Chennai, setting off speculation about a pact ahead of the May 16 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls.
Mr Vaiko held a meeting with AAP state convenor Vaseegaran, in what MDMK described as a "courtesy call".
Later, talking to reporters, Mr Vaiko heaped praise on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and said that AAP's victory in the Assembly elections in that state was a "miracle in Indian political history".
Meanwhile, MDMK sources told news agency PTI that Mr Vaiko's meeting with Mr Vaseegaran was a "courtesy call" but they did not rule out prospects of an alliance.
The two had shared stage at that time during a protest against the Modi government's controversial land acquisition bill.
The Vaiko-led PWF, whose other constituents are CPI(M), CPI and VCK, had clinched a poll pact with Vijayakanth's DMDK last week, allotting the actor-politician 124 of the 234 Assembly seats.
