Dikshit hints at post-poll patch up with Nitish,Amma

Asked whether options for tie up with the AIADMK were open,the senior Congress leader said “it all depends on how many seats Congress gets”.

She said all options are open for tie-ups except with communal forces.

To a specific query whether such a tie-up was possible with AIADMK,she quipped “yes”.

Dikshit remarks come within days of Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi showering praises on Kumar and TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu,in a subtle bid to woo NDA allies. Gandhi had also made overtures to the Left in a bid to shore up Congress numbers after the polls.

Terming the scouting for new allies by Congress “as realistic”,Dikshit said,”when the UPA is making the government and the Congress emerges as the largest party,lot of things will happen. Many corridors will open.

“…those people who have been vitriolic against the government,will join the bandwagon,” she hoped. Attacking key UPA ally RJD,Dikshit said “we had been offered just three seats (by RJD and LJP). Had they been reasonable,we would have gone with them.”
