<b>BJP optimistic of electoral tie-up with AIADMK</b>
CHENNAI, JAN 14 (PTI)
Optimistic of an electoral tie- up with the AIADMK, the BJP said today's meeting between Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa had "created a right ambience" for an alliance for the next Lok Sabha elections.
"There is no need to rush into an alliance. All details of any alliance will come only later," BJP spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters outside the RSS office here.
Prasad, who earlier had lunch at Jayalalithaa's Poes Graden residence along with Modi, described it as "a meeting of minds between both the parties."
"But, what kind of alliance, if any, has to be discussed only by BJP national leaders and Jayalalithaa," he said.
Prasad said both the BJP and the AIADMK had common commonality of views on several issues like Ram Sethu, terrorism, LTTE and "anti-people" agenda of the UPA Government.
"Today's meeting is only a positive indication of things to come," he said.
