On who would lead the alliance,he said there were so many leaders. "Even Stalinji is better than Narendra Modiji...there are strong leaders...we will work that out and decide."
While Rahul Gandhi led Congress has a pan Indian presence, Naidu described regional leaders, including himself, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Stalin and Deve Gowda as strong leaders in their respective states, who are coming together against the BJP.
After a 50-minute meeting with the DMK chief, Naidu said he had come to request Stalin to join him to "save this nation since democracy and the nation are in danger and all of us have to work together against the BJP".
Stalin said he pledged DMK'S full support to Naidu's effort to rally all parties to dislodge the BJP government at the Centre, which has been "initimidating" even autonomous institutions like the RBI.
Stalin said he assured Naidu that he would participate in a proposed consultative meeting of leaders at Delhi or any other suitable place to take forward the initiative.
"Things like the Common Minimum Programme will be devised for sure," the DMK top leader said to a question.
Stalin said he has all along been batting for the unity of state leaders and Opposition parties to halt the 'snatching away' of the rights of states by the Centre.
Downplaying the possibility of differences among parties repeatedly, Naidu said "national interest is of utmost importance when compared to individual or political interest."
"We have to join together... I am in touch with Mamata Banjerjee. I am going to meet her again. We have to work together to save this nation."
