DMDK Treasurer Premalatha on Sunday said alliance talks are being held with major parties and politics discussed with leaders who called on party chief A. Vijayakant.

Speaking to reporters here Premalatha, wife of Vijayakant, thanked DMK President M.K. Stalin for calling on Vijayakant to enquire about his health.

She said apart from enquiring about Vijayakant's health, other issues were also discussed.

Recalling what Congress leader S. Thirunavukarasar told the media after meeting Vijayakant, she said when two leaders meet other issues would also be discussed.

She said electoral alliance cannot be decided in a hurry while DMDK has not hesitated to go it alone.

According to Premalatha, there is no space for a third front as almost all the political parties have aligned with either AIADMK or DMK.

The DMDK first held alliance talks with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the AIADMK.

The ruling AIADMK is maintaining that talks with DMDK are on and soon an alliance would be finalised.

She said Kamal Haasan has said his party would contest alone in all the Lok Sabha seats.

On Friday, Stalin called on Vijayakant a day after Congress leader Thirunavukarasar met the DMDK leader and urged him to take a decision on the alliance that is good for the nation.

Speaking to reporters Stalin said Vijayakant has returned from the US after treatment and he had met him to enquire about his health.

Stalin said he did not speak about politics with Vijayakant as the purpose of his visit was only to enquire about his health.

On Thursday, Thirunavukarasar called on Vijayakant at his residence and requested him to take "a good decision" taking into consideration the prevailing condition in the country.

"He (Vijayakant) is a leader of a political party. I am also a leader and a politician. This is election time. If we say we did not talk politics, I would be lying," Thirunavukarasar told reporters.

On being queried about whether he asked the DMDK to join the Congress-DMK alliance, Thirunavukarasar said he had asked him to take "a good decision" in the interest of the nation.
