An upset M Karunanidhi could decide tomorrow on the withdrawal of DMK ministers at the Centre at a meeting of the party’s brass in Chennai.
This is the impression gaining ground in Congress circles here, ahead of the emergency meeting of the DMK’s high-level Action Committee. The meeting, the first after DMK’s drubbing in the Assembly polls in which it finished a poor third, is being held in the wake of the Delhi High Court here denying bail to DMK MP and Karunanidhi’s daughter, Kanimozhi, in the 2G spectrum case. She is currently in Tihar jail.
The DMK’s direction to all members of the Committee to “participate in the meeting without fail” has fuelled talk in Congress that an important decision is likely to be taken by the Dravidian party tomorrow.
Of late, the 87-year old DMK patriarch has been critical of the Congress, telling the cadres that bad friendship ends in trouble. He had on Sunday blamed the Centre for the arrest of Kanimozhi, saying it was either due to its “orders or complacency”.
