AIADMK to 'extend issue-based support' to NDA govt: Jaya

Further distancing herself from the Opposition at the national level, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagham (AIADMK) supremo J Jayalalithaa on Friday indicated that her party might extend issue-based support to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre, and said she was not part of the People's Front.

"Our support or opposition to the government in Parliament will depend on issues," she told reporters in Madras.

She was replying to questions whether her party's support to the Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance (POTO) meant support to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government at the Centre.

She said the AIADMK was an independent party and would support or oppose the government depending on the issue.

She refused to reply to a question on reports of cracks in the relationship between the BJP and the DMK.

Jayalalithaa flatly denied that her party was part of the People's Front floated by the Samajwadi party and Communist Party of India-Marxist.

On the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's efforts to build a Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya, the AIADMK chief said her party was firm that all parties concerned should abide by the Supreme Court verdict.
