 "Alagiri mum over DMK's poor showing")
Though his supporters were in a jubilant mood with party candidates heading for defeat in southern districts of Tamil Nadu, expelled DMK leader MK Alagiri today declined to comment on the debacle of the party headed by his father M Karunanidhi.
“We did not contest the elections, we did not win nor did we lose,” the party’s Madurai strongman told reporters here and asked them to disperse. Apparently Alagiri was unhappy with some of candidates, including MDMK's Vaiko, supported by him indirectly, also trailing.
His supporters said “Annan” (Alagiri) was not happy as the DMK did not come to third place as expected by him.
Alagiri, expelled for working against the party interest after he openly criticised his younger brother M K Stalin, had campaigned extensively in southern districts against DMK candidates.
