Chennai: The ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) on Thursday said that there was a "good chance" that more parties would join the coalition led by the party in Tamil Nadu for the upcoming Lok Sabha election.

The AIADMK is leading the NDA coalition in the state and its constituents among other parties, include the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK).

"There is a good chance that more parties will join the AIADMK-led alliance for the upcoming general elections," AIADMK coordinator and deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam told reporters.

The comments came on a day when the Vijayakanth-led DMDK hinted that it was in the process of finalising its alliance with the ruling party.

When asked about the prospects of the DMDK, Panneerselvam confirmed that an alliance with the party was in the making.

Hinting at a possible poll pact with the AIADMK for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, DMDK leader LK Sutheesh had earlier on Thursday said that a decision on the matter would be arrived at in a couple of days.

"Yesterday you know we had held talks at a private hotel…we will inform in a couple of days of the number of seats and segments," he said.
