Jayalalithaa joins hands with CPM for Lok Sabha polls

After an hour-long meeting, Jayalalithaa described the meeting with Karat as ‘cordial’.

“I am happy with the meeting. AIADMK and CPM will enter into an electoral alliance (for the Lok Sabha elections),” she said.

Karat said the two parties would be holding more discussions.

Asked about the possible entry of other parties like PMK, Jayalalithaa said, “wait and see”.

Slamming the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre on various fronts, she said, “We need a strong government that would restore the economy.”
