Chennai (PTI): AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa on Sunday said the party was 'open to all options' with regard to alliances.

"We are keeping our options open on having alliances with other political parties," she said evading a direct answer to a query at a press conference here about speculation that she was getting closer to the BJP.

When asked about her congratulatory letter to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, after he won the assembly elections in the state recently, she said "Modi is a friend. It is natural to congratulate a friend for his electoral victory," she said.

Any political significance being attached to it was "for the media to infer", she added.

She also informed that Modi would be in the city on January 14 and she had extended an invitation for him to meet her at home.
