BJP leader LK Advani on Monday said that it was up to AIADMK to decide with his party on a post-poll alliance as such tie-ups, he felt, could be needed for government formation at the Centre keeping in view the current scenario.
"It is for them to decide. I simply mentioned about it," Advani told reporters here, when asked about his reported comment on Sunday that his emissaries were in touch with
AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa on the post-poll tie-up.
Recalling that parties like TDP had joined the NDA after elections in 1999, he said, "These are matters about which parties have to themselves take a decision".
Observing that in the current situation a government could be formed only through a post-election alliance, BJP's prime ministerial candidate said that there are parties who
are not committed towards any political formation.
Dubbing the Third Front as "irrelevant", he said it was clear that no government could be formed at the Centre without the support of either BJP or Congress.
"As far as the BJP is concerned, it has proved its ability in running a coalition successfully while the Congress-led UPA is disintegrating with partners deserting it one after another", he said.
