Chennai, Dec 20: DMK party chief M Karunanidhi on Friday clarified that his party would contest the Lok Sabha polls with existing partners in the alliance and dismissed the media reports that DMK will align with BJP.

"We already have some alliance parties. We will contest the polls with them - Muslim League, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, Manidhaneya Makkal Katchi and Puthiya Thamizhagam," said Karunanidhi.

To a query on whether actor-turned politician Vijayakant's DMDK would be there in his alliance, he said "Not known as yet."

Karunanidhi, on Thursday, in an exclusive interview with TOI, had praised Modi's capabilities as an administrator. The BJP welcomes Karunanidhi's comments on Modi, but ruled out aligning with DMK.
