AIADMK pulls out of CPI fast [October 03 2008]

The AIADMK today pulled out of the one-day fast organised by the CPI to protest India's military support to Sri Lanka, triggering speculation of a possible BJP-AIADMK alliance for the next elections.

The boycott the AIADMK had committed its support to the statewide agitation and party general secretary J Jayalalithaa had nominated organising secretary S Muthusamy to represent her at the fast in front of the State Guest House in Chennai has also raised doubts over the AIADMK being part of the third front that is emerging in the state's political horizon.
