"There is no change in our alliance with the Congress. Our decision is firm," he said replying to a question whether his party would continue in the Congress-led alliance in the post-poll scenario.

He was speaking to the media after casting his vote in a booth in Central Chennai constituency.

Asked whether there was any possibility for the formation of a third front, he replied in negative.

On DMK's support to any other party if there was a hung parliament, he said he could not say any thing now. 'I can tell some thing only after the results are out on May 13'.

Asked about the chances of the DMK-led Democratic Progressive Alliance in the state, he said "This has already been decided".
