BJP will form strong alliance in TN for LS polls: Amit Shah

BJP chief Amit Shah Thursday hit out at the opposition combine, saying it "lacked" leaders, policies and philosophy and termed the saffron party-led NDA as "strong" that is ready to lead the nation again.

Shah said his party will forge a "strong alliance" to face the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in Tamil Nadu.

This alliance, which could be forged in a "short span," will contest from all 39 Lok Sabha seats, he said, addressing handloom and powerloom associations in Erode.

"I want to assure the people of Tamil Nadu that the BJP is going to contest the elections in a strong alliance with an ally," he said in his brief remarks on a poll-pact.

Taking potshots at the proposed DMK-Congress alliance, he said it was not being forged for the benefit of Tamil Nadu but only to indulge in "scam and corruption."
Apparently pointing out at the proposed opposition alliance, Shah said it had "no leader, no principle or philosophy" and that it was "an alliance for power."
