CHENNAI: The nearly four-hour-long hard bargain between the AIADMK and the BJP on Saturday over sharing of seats in the urban local body elections ran into rough weather with the principal ally, the AIADMK, not conceding to the "high" demands of the saffron party.
Top state-level functionaries of the BJP are of the opinion that they should not give in to pressure from their senior partner as the AIADMK has "weakened over the years".
