"The SDF will provide unconditional support to the UPA as was the case in 2004," Chamling told reporters at Raj Bhavan.

"My party has never asked for bargain in lieu of its support nor will it ever do so," he said.

He said that he was contacted by the Congress leaders at the Centre for extending support to the UPA government.

Chamling, at the same time, reiterated his wish that the ruling national alliance should consider giving some role to the SDF's Lok Sabha MP in the next government, but said that he will not put up a formal demand in this regard.
