Chennai: The BJP today (Feb 6 2006) said it would not have any truck with the DMK and the AIADMK for the coming assembly polls in Tamil Nadu.

"We will keep both parties at a equidistance. There is no going back on our decision to go it alone, which was taken after a lot of deliberations", BJP Vice-President L Ganesan told sources here.

Stating that the BJP wanted to provide the electorate a 'nationalist alternative', he said no national party had been voted to power in Tamil Nadu since 1967.

Ganesan said the party would contest all 234 seats in the state and the 'misrule' of the UPA Government at the Centre and the AIADMK Government in Tamil Nadu would be its main plank of electioneering.

Stating that the BJP would organise demonstrations against the UPA Government in all district headquarters in India against their 'wrong policies', he said senior party leaders in the state would undertake an extensive 'Yatra' from tomorrow, to be headed by him, touching all villages.

Senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu would inaugurate the yatra, Ganesan said.
