We need to understand that we've divided our country in language based states. So what happens is that more regional parties come in the front and different opinions don't let any one particular strong decision to pass through.
I think regional parties are very important if they fulfil regional aspirations.
The regional parties have emerged as a strong force, and they, too, deserve a place in national politics.
I want to clarify that as far as the Mahagathbandhan is concerned, the Biju Janata Dal is not a part of it.
We want Congress to join the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) alliance.
For decades, there was no alternative to the two Dravidian parties - the DMK and the AIADMK.
We have to convince people about the relevance of regional parties, and we are doing that.
The Congress and regional parties may fight against each other in certain states, but they will get united at the national level against BJP for forming the coalition government.
