No tie-up talks for LS polls: TN BJP

BJP in Tamil Nadu is not holding any talks with any political party, including ruling AIADMK, for electoral alliance in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, state party president Pon Radhakrishnan today said.
"However, a very strong electoral alliance will emerge in the state under BJP's leadership," he told PTI.
He welcomed the efforts taken by Gandhian leader Tamilaruvi Manian for forming a grand alliance in the state with the BJP at the centerstage.
Hitting out at the UPA Government, he alleged it had failed in all respects.
Radhakrishnan criticised the Tamil Nadu Government for "not taking effective steps" to increase power production in the state.

"Tamil Nadu Government cannot rest with putting the blame on the Union Government. Despite such odds, Gujarat has emerged the forerunner in power production," he said.
Referring to the treatment meted out to Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade in the US, Radhakrishnan called for stern action from the Indian Government.
"In the past, when incidents like frisking former President Abdul Kalam happened in the US, India did not react properly. At least now, the Government should wake up," he said.
