New Delhi: BJP on Thursday sounded hopeful of a tie-up with TDP in Andhra Pradesh, saying discussions between the two parties have been "good" but a final outcome is awaited.
While equating alliances with marriages, which involve long negotiations, party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar blamed the long delay in taking a final decision on the alliance to the fact that the state will witness both Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.
"The talks with TDP are on. We will tell you when anything happens. Discussions have been good," Javadekar, who is in charge of party affairs in Andhra Pradesh, told reporters.
Sources said the talks between two parties reached a dead end at the state level as TDP did not agree to the numbers of seats local BJP leaders sought and a final decision will now be taken by the national leadership.
"Alliances are like marriages. Marriage is also an alliance. It either happens hundred per cent or does not," he quipped.
