Chennai, March 18 TVK chief Vijay dismissed claims of "alliance talks" for the April 23 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls as a "false campaign" on Wednesday, without directly naming the NDA.
Vijay said that the cadres may have been confused due to claims that TVK might form an alliance, while addressing an Iftar event held in Mamallapuram near here.
He declared that "We are firm on the stand that the government will be led by us (following a big win in the polls); there will be no compromise on secular, social justice principles."
Vijay asserted that TVK belongs to the "people's team" and dismissed allegations that his party functioned as a "B-Team."
However, Vijay did not elaborate on who accused TVK of being a "B-Team."
For the past about 5-6 days, claims have been doing the rounds that TVK would align with the NDA. It was claimed that the "successful Jana Sena-TDP model of Andhra Pradesh" was being attempted in Tamil Nadu and that Vijay would be the Deputy CM like Pawan Kalyan.
While TVK leaders, including CTR Nirmal Kumar, have already ruled out an alliance possibility with the NDA, this is the first time Vijay himself is dropping clear hints that there would not be any alliance with the AIADMK-BJP combine.
TVK leader Aadhav Arjuna has claimed that his party was "offered the chief ministership for 2.5 years and 90 Assembly seats," out of the 234 segments in the state.
Arjuna had said that his party would not "bow before Delhi," seen as a reference to the BJP.
It is speculated that the "2.5 years CM offer was only from the BJP," a key constituent of the NDA, as the AIADMK had repeatedly denied holding talks with Vijay's party to forge an alliance.
