I met him at his house today and and requested him to support MDMK candidates in the Lok Sabha elections.”
Alagiri, the disgruntled son of DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi, also said Vaiko had sought his support, adding, he would consult with his supporters about it and take a decision.
As per the seat-sharing agreement between BJP and its partners in Tamil Nadu, MDMK was allotted seven seats. Vaiko is contesting from Virudhunagar constituency, considered an Alagiri stronghold.
Alagiri had on March 14 met BJP president Rajnath Singh at New Delhi and offered his support for the BJP alliance in Tamil Nadu which includes DMDK, PMK, MDMK, IJK and KMDK. It also has the support of 39 small outfits.
