None has approached us so far: Jaya on Prez poll

All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Saturday said her party was yet to decide on the ensuing presidential polls and nobody had approached her so far on the issue.

"AIADMK has not taken a stand yet and no one has approached me with a proposal so far," she told reporters in Chennai while leaving for Delhi to attend the meeting on National Counter Terrorism Centre, chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

She said she was going to the national capital only to attend the conference and had "no other plans."

Jayalalithaa, among a set of non-congress chief ministers including Mamata Banerjee (West Bengal), Narendra Modi (Gujarat) and Naveen Patnaik (Odisha), is opposed to the controversial National Counter Terrorism Centre, claiming it is against the federal structure and have demanded that it be discussed separately.
