		DMK president and former Tamil Nadu chief minister M. Karunanidhi indicated this at a public meeting in Chennai, saying it was not for him to be the “permanent political guru”.
		DMK insiders read Karunanidhi’s remarks as a hint to old-timers to keep away from the party’s ongoing organisational elections at the taluka and district levels, giving fresh blood an opportunity to take hold of the party’s reins.
		DMK sources said Karunanidhi chose last night’s meeting to speak out his mind on the issue in light of the bitter factional battles that broke out recently in Madurai between supporters of Karunanidhi’s younger son, M.K Stalin and elder son, M.K. hagiri.

		He said the DMK decision to withdraw ministers but give outside support to the government 'is not a contradiction since the party had taken a similar stand even earlier'.
		The DMK was sore with the BJP complaining that the Centre had not done enough to come to its rescue when Karunanidhi and two central ministers Baalu and late Murasoli Maran were arrested by the AIADMK government.
		DMK's support to the POTA Amendment Bill in Parliament was only to get the release of those detained under the act in the state, he said.

	rediff.com: DMK upset over Advani's silence on dismissal demand
		The opposition, led by the Congress, the All India Anna DMK and the Tamil Maanila Congress, had raised the dismissal issue in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, while moving a calling attention motion on the Veerappan issue.
		Advani's reply, DMK sources say, stopped with commending the Karunanidhi government for promising to extend the ban on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam when due in May this year, but did not reject the dismissal demand.
		As may be recalled, the Rajiv Gandhi assassination cost the DMK the 1991 elections, which was the worst ever for the party since it entered electoral politics in 1959.

		CHENNAI, JUNE 1: The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is all set to announce the forging of electoral ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party at the party's general council meeting in Chennai tomorrow.
		At tomorrow's meeting, the DMK general council is expected to ratify the proposal to align with the BJP and go with the `National Democratic Alliance' in ``national interest and in order to have a stable Government at the Centre''.
		While traditional Muslim and Christian supporters of the DMK have found it difficult to digest an alliance with the BJP, they have little choice but to go along with their leader's view that the BJP is the best bet at the national level.

		In a wide-ranging interview, DMK president M Karunanidhi talked on a number of subjects including national political scene, general elections and the possibility of alliance with Congress.
		The issue will be taken up only after the polls are announced," he said when asked whether DMK would consider an alliance with Congress as its president Sonia Gandhi had stated that her party was not averse to coalition and in view of setbacks in DMK-BJP ties.
		However, DMK would evolve its political strategy fully keeping in mind the situation in Tamil Nadu as the state was expected to play its part in any change in the political situation, he said.

	Rediff On The NeT: DMK may dump TMC, join hands with PMK
		DMK supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi says his party executive and general council will meet soon to decide on the future of the TMC alliance.
		Whatever the explanations issued by the leadership of the two parties, the sentiment at the cadre-level is one of mutual resentment bordering on animosity, according to leaders of both parties.
		As for the TMC 'ditching' the DMK in its hour of crisis, he referred to the DMK abandoning G K Moopanar in the prime ministerial race in April.

	A house divided
		T.S. The murder of senior Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader T. Kiruttinan and the arrest of DMK chief Karunanidhi's son M.K. hagiri in connection with the incident deal a severe blow to the image of the party and highlight the intense factionalism that exists within it.
		After the DMK was voted to power in 1996, Azhagiri became a puissant figure in Madurai and his faction grew stronger.
		According to DMK leaders, Azhagiri insisted that "men of his choice" be nominated for the party posts, especially to the posts of panchayat union and town secretaries in Madurai, Dindigul, Sivaganga, Ramanathapuram, Theni, Virudhunagar and Tirunelveli districts, while Kiruttinan was in favour of elections.

		The pact with the DMK to contest the three seats from its platform was taken by two TMC-D state legislators and not by Chidamabaram who was out of the city, they added.
		A DMK minister also on the party's poll panel said it would all be clear in two more days.

		In fact, for many of the senior DMK leaders, the city had been a safe refuge, be it Assembly or Lok Sabha elections, but the rival AIADMK sent jitters down the spine of the DMK in 2001 when the party and its allies scalped eight Assembly seats, including Saidapet, considered to be a DMK bastion.
		However, as far as the Lok Sabha elections were concerned, the DMK continued to be a nightmare for the Opposition as the party repeatedly returned its nominees to Parliament from the three constituencies - North Chennai, Central Chennai and South Chennai.
		The DMK was defeated in the next three elections, with Congress nominee and actress-turned-politician Vijayanthimala Bali, backed by the AIADMK, winning twice in the 1984 and 1989 elections and AIADMK nominee Sridharan winning for the only time in 1991.

		Ideologically, the DMK had nothing in common with the Bharatiya Janata Party, its alliance was more strategic than “moral”.
		The list of grouses the DMK has produced to explain its decision to leave the NDA has to be seen against this background.
		Local politics being the real arena of the rivalry between the AIADMK and the DMK, the latter is not willing to grant the former either the luxury of a choice of support or the safety of an opposition split between the Congress and the NDA.

		Ganesan had obviously made a reference to the period of DMK rule, and hence, the committee, which met here prior to the commencement of a three-day party conference today, condemned it.
		Karunanidhi said his stand was "regrettable." The DMK stuck to the position that it must be repealed.

	The Hindu Business Line : DMK's withdrawal of Ministers — Start of the great political churn?
		Right from the beginning, it was an uneasy relationship; the DMK got on to the NDA platform in the first place because the space for an ally in Tamil Nadu was vacated by the AIADMK.
		But there are no constant enemies or friends in politics, and the DMK, led by the same Mr Karunanidhi, contested elections in alliance with the BJP and even joined the government at the Centre.
		The DMK's high-level policy-making committee decided it had had enough of the BJP's constituents "talking ill" of the party, and resolved to pull out its two ministers, Mr T. Baalu and Mr A. Raja, from the Union Cabinet.

	DMK helped LTTE assassinate Rajiv Gandhi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		India’s Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party (DMK) and its leader Karunanidhi who is the chief minister of Tamil Nadu came in for strong criticism in the interim report of a retired judge who probed the circumstances leading to the killing in 1991 by an LTTE female suicide bomber.
		During 1990, a growing nexus between the LTTE and DMK and its repercussions on the local law enforcement machinery were discernible.
		It can, therefore, be safely concluded that the growing connivance of the DMK Government with the LTTE having been brought to the knowledge of the National Front Government, effective steps were not taken by the Central government to check it, whatever may be the reasons.
