TDP, INLD may join NDA as allies, Chandrababu calls for change at Centre

BJP has also been holding talks with INLD chief Om Prakash Chautala for a tie-up in Haryana, where the party already has an understanding with Kuldeep Bishnoi's Haryana Janhit Congress.



"We could allot a seat to Bishnoi from our quota of seats. It will not create any hurdle," said a BJP leader. Abhay Chautala has expressed his party's keenness to work with BJP, the BJP leader said.
 
Modi, who has been spearheading the party's efforts at coalition-building, has also held talks with other potential allies, including Babulal Marandi in Jharkhand, BS Yeddyurappa in Karnataka and AGP's Prafulla Mahanta.

The alliance with Marandi can be worked out if BJP agrees to contest the next election under his leadership, and in that case former CM Arjun Munda may have to be sidelined.
