PMK extends outside support to BJP
The Pattali Makkal Katchi will extend
support to the Bharatiya Janata Party from outside if the latter
formed a government at the Centre, founder president Dr S
Ramadoss said on Thursday.
He said his party's support
would be unconditional and intended to provide a stable, clean and
efficient administration in New Delhi.
The PMK has four seats in the Lok Sabha.
The party's decision follows All
India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary and Progressive
Democratic
Front leader Jayalalitha Jayaram's decision to extend support to the BJP
from outside. The AIADMK has bagged 18 of the
39 seats in the state. The
front has a combined strength of 30 seats, and is the most crucial
bloc in the BJP-led alliance.
On Wednesday, Dr Ramadoss had said his party would abide by
Jayalalitha's decision with regard to the formation of a BJP
government.
