Cong-AIADMK ties renewed in Tamil Nadu
The Congress today took the crucial gamble of going along with J. Jayalalitha8217;s ADMK for the coming elections in Tamil Nadu, after a long meeting between CWC member Sharad Pawar and Jayalalitha in Chennai, thus renewing a 13-year-old friendship which went sour for a while last year. The risk factor in this decision is huge as the ADMK chief has to explain things on two fronts: the corruption cases involving her and the reason for having withdrawn support to BJP.
