Chennai: The BJP Saturday finalised its alliance formation in Tamil Nadu with DMDK, MDMK, PMK and two other small parties, said a party official.
The alliance formation was on the verge of breaking up with the actor-turned-politician A.Vijayakant's DMDK unilaterally announced its candidates for five Lok Sabha constituencies Friday and he went on the campaign trail Friday, upsetting the BJ.
"At one point we were ready say bye to the DMDK," a Bharatiya Janata Party leader told IANS.
The Bharatiya Janata Party in-charge for Tamil Nadu, it is learnt, had even told DMDK's top officials to announce the party's candidates for all the 39 seats in the state.
