It is not only actor Rajinikanth who is keeping the people of Tamil Nadu guessing with regard to his political plans. Former DMK chief and Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi’s elder son MK Alagiri has also joined the suspense bandwagon, with his supporters wondering about his return to politics after several years.
Alagiri, who was Union minister in the second UPA government, on Thursday met his mother Dayalu Ammal who is under treatment at the family residence at Gopalapuram.
Later speaking to reporters, Alagiri said he will consult his supporters on January 3 and decide about launching a new party. “If my supporters want me to launch a new party, I will do that but will not support DMK. Neither have I been invited by DMK to rejoin the party,” he said.
Asked about meeting actor Rajinikanth, Alagiri said he came to know from the media that the actor was returning from the shooting of ‘Annathee’. “Once he is back from Hyderabad, I will meet him,” said Alagiri.
