Chennai: The BJP has added another ally to its count. In Tamil Nadu, the party has closed a deal with the regional DMDK, headed by actor-turned-politician Vijaykanth, popularly known as "Captain."

The covenant assigns 14 of the 39 parliamentary seats in the state to the DMDK. The BJP has already tied up with the MDMK and is reportedly negotiating with another regional party, the PMK, to land a fourth ally in Tamil Nadu.

In Karnataka, the RSS filed a complaint with the Election Commission against Rahul Gandhi for his comments blaming it for Mahatma Gandhi's assassination. The complaint was filed by RSS spokesperson Ram Madhav.

The Congress vice president was criticising the BJP at an election rally in Maharashtra on Thursday, when he referred to the Opposition party's ideological mentor, the RSS. "They killed Gandhi. RSS people shot Gandhi dead. And today their people (BJP) talk about Gandhi. Sardar Patel was a Congress leader, he has written clearly about RSS, and today they (BJP) tell Congress that Sardar Patel is our leader," the 43-year-old said at the rally in Thane district, his last on a two-day tour of the state.
