Chidambaram rules out joining BJP: PTI

Former Union finance minister and Tamil Maanila Congress leader P Chidambaram Wednesday discounted press reports that he was planning to join the Bharatiya Janata Party.

''I will not lose my dignity,'' he told reporters in Karaikudi, when asked if he was planning to join the BJP.

Lashing out at the media for spreading such 'rumours', he told reporters, ''Patrika Dharma is slowly dying in Tamil Nadu.''

Chidambaram and several TMC activists were taken into custody for trying to picket a government office, as part of the party's state-wide protest programme.
