Madurai:
Expelled DMK leader MK Alagiri on Sunday held discussions with his close assoiciates and supporters in Madurai more than his subsequent course of political action and stated he may possibly make an announcement quickly.
Asking his supporters to be ready for any sort of move from him, Mr Alagiri stated he may possibly either come up with a “good decision” or not, seven years just after he was expelled from the DMK for alleged anti-party activities in the wake of sibling rivalry with his brother and incumbent party chief M K Stalin.
With Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu most likely to be held in April-May, the former Union Minister’s function is becoming speculated, from joining the BJP to floating his personal outfit. He also educated his guns on Stalin, claiming his younger brother “can never become Chief Minister” of Tamil Nadu.
“I will soon announce my decision. The supporters should accept it whether is is good decision or not,” Mr Alagiri told a effectively-attended meeting of his supporters.
The former DMK South Organisation Secretary stated he was never ever behind posts and claimed such responsibilities had been “forced” on him by his father and late DMK chief M Karunanidhi.
Recalling the bypoll victory in Tirumangalam in 2009 in Madurai below his leadership, when DMK was in energy in the state, Mr Alagiri stated he ensured his party won by a margin of 40,000 votes.
Contrary to claims of a “Tirumangalam formula” involving money distribution “by media and some persons,” Mr Alagiri stated he had ensured the DMK”s victory only via sheer really hard work.
He claimed that Stalin and Maran brothers imploredhim to work and assistance the party to win in the Tirumangalamby poll.
He additional claimed that he had as soon as told Stalin that “you are everything” just after Karunanidhi and wondered why he was kicked out of the party later.
A critic of his sibling, Mr Alagiri stated MK Stalin’s supporters typically hail him as “future CM.”
“Now I say Stalin can never become chief minister. My supporters won’t allow you,” he added.
Mr Alagiri, a former Madurai strongman of the DMK with considerable clout in southern districts, also claimed that Karunanidhi was not keen on contesting the 2016 Assembly polls, exactly where he won from his native Tiruvarur constituency.
