On May 10 the DMK President M Karunanidhi has said that he will be the Chief Minister if his party wins the May 16 assembly election and forms government in Tamil Nadu and his son M K Stalin has to wait till nature does something to him and if he wins, it will be the sixth time as Chief Minister.
When Karunanidhi was responding to a question by the NDTV reporters he has told that if he will pave the way for youngsters in the party in the event of DMK winning the elections, Karunanidhi asserted that he will lead the government if his party is voted back to power in coming elections and that DMK Treasurer Stalin was among the first who wanted him to be the Chief Minister.
Stalin has often been referred to as Karunanidhi’s political heir apparent, with the party patriarch himself dropping enough hints; he still has not been elevated to the top post and Stalin was the Deputy Chief Minister in the previous DMK government.
Stalin has often found his Madurai-based elder brother M K Alagiri, who was expelled from DMK for anti-party activities, also vying for the top post at the height of power tussle in DMK’s first family and Alagiri had once popularly remarked that the party was not a mutt where a senior pontiff could appoint a successor.
