MK Alagiri News

Alagiri has sought permission from Madurai District Collector to erect a bronze statue of Karunanidhi in the Madurai city.

Alagiri had announced that he would be holding a 'peace rally' to mourn the death of his father.

Soon after late DMK chief Karunanidhi's death, Alagiri had kicked up a storm by saying that the DMK cadres were with him. 

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

Alagiri had recently questioned the leadership of DMK working President MK Stalin.

Karunanidhi had expelled Alagiri and his supporters from the party in 2014 for indulging in anti-party activities and making derogatory remarks. 

Stalin asserted he has the support of the entire cadre, just a day after his elder brother MK Alagiri claimed otherwise.

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.

Former Union Minister MK Alagiri has blamed his brother MK Stalin for the big defeat of the party in the RK Nagar by-election.

Most exit polls after voting ended on May 16 had predicted a DMK win.

Expelled former DMK strongman MK Alagiri on Tuesday said he will not support any party in the May 16 Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu.

Seeking to put to rest speculations that his brother and former Union Minister MK Alagiri could return to the DMK, party treasurer MK Stalin on Tuesday said the talk could be a rumour.
