MDMK general secretary Vaiko on Monday said absence of a Prime Ministerial candidate in the opposition’s INDIA bloc will not cause any setback to its electoral prospects. The leaders of the opposition alliance have a cordial relationship among them, he told journalist during his customary New Year interaction with them in Chennai.
“Even within a political party there will be differences. But they will come together when time demands. I attended four of the five meetings of the leaders of the INDIA bloc and the question of the Prime Ministerial candidate was raised. It is a combination of various political parties. It cannot be said whether this will be decided now or after the elections,” said Mr. Vaiko.
Last month, Trinamool Congress leader and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee proposed Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge as the Prime Ministerial face of the alliance.
