After firming up an alliance with the ruling AIADMK for the Lok Sabha polls, senior BJP leader and Union Minister Piyush Goyal Tuesday met with DMDK founder-president Vijayakanth at his residence here.

Goyal, also the BJP in-charge for Tamil Nadu, said the visit was to enquire about the actor-turned-politician's health.

"Everything in life is not about alliances and politics. There are some personal human relationships also," he told reporters after the meeting when asked if there was any alliance talks with the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK).

Goyal, flanked by senior DMDK leader Sudeesh and Union minister Pon Radhakrishnan, said "It was not about alliance or politics and the visit was to enquire about Captain's (as Vijayakanth is popularly known) health and for wishing him good health and long life."
