“We have already decided that we will not support both the Congress-UPA supported candidate and the BJP-NDA supported candidate. We will need some time to think about our next step,” ADMK chief J Jayalalithaa told reporters after her meeting with Kalam and later with NDA leaders at former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s house.
The UNPA is now left with only three options: each party going its own way and asking its legislators for a “conscience vote,” abstain, or field another candidate. With a bypoll in Madurai keeping Jayalalithaa busy and the last date of nominations June 30, time is also running out for the UNPA.
