Hours ahead of a rally to be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union minister Piyush Goyal Wednesday said parties desirous of a strong government at the Centre would join forces with the National Democratic Alliance.
Goyal, who is the election in-charge of the BJP in Tamil Nadu, said discussions with different parties were on and made a veiled appeal to the DMDK to join the ruling coalition at the Centre.
Asked about the DMDK joining hands with the AIADMK-led front with which the ruling party had held several rounds of talks for forging an alliance, he said, "There should always be some surprises and I would like to wait for surprise."
