AICC secretary Sanjay Dutt dubbed the alliance firmed up by the AIADMK, BJP and PMK for the Lok Sabha polls as unprincipled and not based on any ideology.
Dutt said the PMK had been continuously flaying the AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu in recent months and had also hit out at the BJP and NDA government at the Centre, he said.
"How can there be a 360 degree U Turn on the part of the PMKnow to have an alliance with the AIADMK and BJP.
It should be either under threat of investigating agencies or out of fear psychosis that the alliance had been clinched by the PMK and AIADMK with BJP," Dutt, also incharge of party affairs in Puducherry, said.
Describing the tie-up as "unpricipled," he said it was not based on any ideology.
He was talking to reporters after chairing a joint meeting of the functionaries of the Campaign and Publicity committees of the PCC formed in the context of the coming Lok Sabha polls.
Dutt said when congress president Rahul Gandhi had taken the initiative for an alliance with secular and democratic parties, the Prime Minister had described it as "highly adulterated."
Taking potshots at the attempts to cobble up a mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) against the BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had recently asked people to guard against the 'mahamilavat' (highly adulterated) regime if his party was not voted back.
"I want to know whether the alliance clinched between the AIADMK, BJP and PMK in Tamil Nadu is not adulterated," Dutt said.
Dutt alleged that the BJP was using Enforcement Directorate and investigating agencies to threaten parties in the States to join in alliance with it or go to jail.
On the other hand, the relationship between the Congress and the DMK dated back to days of the late DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi and is based on the promotion of welfare and development of Puducherry and Tamil Nadu, the congress leader said.
"This alliance is takingthe two States to the forefront of States in the country," he said.
Dutt alleged that Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi was stalling implementation of various welfare schemes in the Union Territory.
