DMK is a trusted ally. We have good relations with that party both at the Central and at the state level," party spokesman Shakeel Ahmed told PTI.He said "it is mere speculation" as both Congress and DMK have a "very good working relationship and both parties are together for the last two Lok Sabha elections."AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa had dropped hints in Chennai yesterday that she was open to joining hands with Congress."It is not only a case of some Congressmen becoming impatientwith the DMK.
