BJP Will Contest Its Own In Tamilnadu
Coimbatore : The BJP may contest the ensuing Lok Sabha polls on its own in Tamil Nadu and has already started the groundwork in this regard, a top state level unit leader said here today. State BJP president L Ganesan said the party has decided to go it alone and will not take the initiative to approach any party for an alliance. However, he expressed hope that some parties will approach them"at the right time"to form a coalition.
Ganesan said the party will support the January 21 state-wide agitation of farmers in protest against the government ban on toddy tapping. He demanded to know what was preventing the government from allowing toddy tapping when they"themselves were providing licences and selling IMFL ( Indian Made Foreign Liquor) through its own outlets". Asked whether the BJP was being"isolated"at the national level, Ganesan merely said his party and its allies are confident of coming back to power at the hustings.
