Karunanidhi Officially Announces MK Stalin As His Political Heir

In yet another twist in the family feud over control of DMK in Tamil Nadu, supremo M Karunanidhi has named MK Stalin as his political heir, thereby relegating the already snubbed brother M K Alagiri further into the background, reported Financial Express.

With Karunandihi getting old and unable to run the party on his own, he had increasingly come to depend on Stalin to do the job day-to-day. This had miffed Alagiri who had announced a split from the party fold after Karunanidhi did not allot him any important task during the last state election that was won by a landslide by Jayalalitha’s AIADMK.

This new development in the party has also come as another shocker for MK Alagiri, who did not get any important role in the party during the last assembly elections, which was won by J Jayalalithaa.
