Chennai: The Congress on Wednesday night made it clearthat its alliance with DMK in Tamil Nadu was "firm andenduring" and both parties were fighting the elections to win"resoundingly".

"Our alliance with DMK is firm and enduring and we arefighting the election to win resoundingly in 2009," AICC general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad said in a statement here.

UPA involved in sugar scam, accuses Modi

Azad said that AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi'sremarks on AIADMK at a press Conference in New Delhi on Tuesday had been "distorted" by the media.

Rahul had said that "Nitish Kumar, Jayalalithaa andmany like-minded parties are beginning to feel that the NDAwill not win. After elections all options are open."

Azad said that Rahul meant that Nitish Kumar's JD-U andJayalalithaa's AIADMK, which were or are part of the NDA, werenow facing the question (of options) because the NDA is"finished" throughout the country.

Earlier, Azad told reporters that the Congress waskeeping its all options open for government formation in thepost poll scenario.

He asserted that the first choice of other parties (toform a government) would be the UPA and not the NDA.
