Karuna's thumbs up for Modi: He is a hard worker and good friend
February 28, 2014 15:00
DMK President M Karunanidhi today described BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi as a 'hardworker' and a 'good friend.'
Karunanidhi's response came in an interview to one of the leading Tamil dailies 'Dinamalar,' in which the 90 year-old DMK patriarch also refrained from commenting on a possible tie-up with the saffron party post-elections.
"The hectic election campaign by Modi shows he is a hardworker. He is also a good friend of mine," he said when asked about his 'personal opinion' on the Gujarat Chief Minister.
Asked if his announcement in the recent DMK state conference that his party would not align with 'communal forces', meant BJP, Karunanidhi shot back "are you giving a confessional statement that BJP is communal."
When asked if there was a chance for DMK joining BJP-led alliance after elections, he said he "cannot speculate and tell what will be the situation after the Lok Sabha polls."
