New Delhi/Chennai: Biju Janata Dal and AIADMK today appeared to be keeping their options open on helping NDA form the government amidst BJP's contention that it would welcome support from anybody in the national interest.


UPA ally NCP, meanwhile, dismissed speculation about cosying up to the NDA. BJP leader Gopinath Munde also said his party will not “feel their need”.

BJD chief and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and AIADMK supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa said they were yet to take any decision on the issue of support and were awaiting the Lok Sabha poll results.

The comments came amid speculation that BJP leaders were in touch with these parties for support. BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi held consultations with senior party colleagues, including Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley, in Gandhinagar on the post-poll prospects.
