Do you think the new Jayalalithaa will eat away the BJP vote bank in Tamil Nadu?
I don’t think so. In their heart of hearts, many political leaders know that certain things are right but due to political compulsions, they are not opening their mouths. I will say there is political hypocrisy. Only a few are frank. Others depict pseudo-secularism for the sake of vote bank politics. In case of an alliance with the AIADMK? We have not come that close now. We have not even thought of an alliance with the AIADMK. If that’s the case why unnecessarily should I talk about a possible alliance. The two major political parties in Tamil Nadu are the AIADMK and the DMK. In all probability, the Congress may form a third front. So, the BJP has no option but to ally with either of these two. What is politics? Politics is a decision taken on a given situation. I cannot say anything about what will happen in the year 2004. Many things many change tomorrow. The Tamil Nadu political situation is bound to change. Nobody can say that the present Congress will remain the same till 2004. S
