DMK president News

The Centre moved the apex court Friday challenging the high court order quashing the land acquisition process for the Rs 10,000-crore Salem-Chennai eight-lane greenfield corridor project.

The election of Stalin as the DMK's second president was fairly a smooth affair as all the 65 district secretaries of the party proposed his name for the top post and his is the only nomination.

Alagiri has launched a revolt against his brother at a time when Stalin is set to be elected as the party president. 

MK Stalin was elevated as DMK working president last January.

The timing of his statement bears significance as it comes just a day ahead of the executive committee meeting that is scheduled to take place on Tuesday.

The Madras High Court on Wednesday allowed the burial of DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi’s mortal remains near Anna Memorial at Chennai’s Marina beach.

The veteran leader had been receiving treatment at home, but was shifted to the hospital again on Friday night.

DMK President M. Karunanidhi on Saturday turned 94 and party leaders and cadres in large numbers gathered outside his residence here to greet him.

The 92-year-old leader was rushed to the hospital on the night of December 15. Doctors treating him had said that a process was initiated to clear his infection. 

 Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) president M Karunanidhi, who was admitted to Kauvery Hospital on Thursday night due to throat and lung infection, is doing well, party treasurer and the nonagenarian leader's son M K Stalin said on Sunday.
