``Our support to the Vajpayee government is conditional and issue-based and in tune with peculiar circumstances,'' TDP general secretary C Ramchandraiah said, adding the party would not hesitate to withdraw support to the coalition if it pursued any policy that would harm the interests of minorities.

Rebuffing the charge by United Front leaders at their rally here yesterday accusing the TDP of being ``anti-secular and opportunistic'', Ramchandraiah told mediapersons that his party's support to the ruling coalition was in tune with the circumstances thrown up by the fractured electoral verdict.

``We are not pro-BJP but they (UF partners) are pro-Congress,'' he said, adding the UF was showing ``clear signs offrustration and lack of direction.'' ``After our leader (Naidu) quit the Front, it (UF) has been plagued by internal contradictions and ideological confusion,'' he said. Ramachandaiah said the TDP had to sever links with the UF due to the pro-Congress leanings of its partners.

``The TDP alone had projected the UF as a single entity during the recent election campaign while other constituents had their own agenda and self-interests,'' he added. Referring to the statement by Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav that the UF would support the Congress in its bid to form a government at the Centre, he said, ``This shows that they are pre-determined in their support to Congress.''
