Will forge strong tie-up in TN: Shah

Erode: BJP president Amit Shah Thursday said his party will forge a “strong alliance” to face the coming Lok Sabha polls in Tamil Nadu. This alliance, which could be forged in a “short span,” will contest from all the 39 Lok Sabha seats, he said, addressing handloom and powerloom associations in Erode. “I want to assure the people of Tamil Nadu that the BJP is going to contest the elections in a strong alliance with an ally,” he said in his brief remarks on a poll-pact. Shah’s remark comes a day after a senior AIADMK leader admitted that the ruling party was in discreet talks with the saffron party.
