Speaking at a press conference at the party office here, the former chief minister said: "As of now, there is no threat to the central government."

Asked whether the Congress has invited the Samajwadi Party to join the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, he said: "Such a question is imaginary. Imaginary questions have no answer."

The DMK, which has 18 MPs in the Lok Sabha, Saturday evening withdrew support to the UPA government.
