Angry Alagiri abuses Karunanidhi, MK breaks down
Highlights
Angry Alagiri abuses Karunanidhi, MK breaks down. Suspended DMK south zone organizing secretary M.K. Alagiri has lived up to his reputation for being an intemperate character.
Suspended DMK south zone organizing secretary M.K. Alagiri has lived up to his reputation for being an intemperate character. Alagiri was perhaps at his insolent best if one were to go by the revelations made by party insiders who had knowledge of the heated exchanges between the father and son at Gopalapuram Friday morning.

Arriving Chennai around 1.30 am by flight, Alagiri went to Gopalapuram around 8pm and argued vehemently for the next 20 minutes with his frail father-party chief about a spate of loyalists’ suspensions, which, he perceives, had undid his political career.
“So shockingly rude and abusive was Alagiri’s words that an upset kalaignar called party general secretary K. Anbazhagan, Stalin and Duraimurugan besides DK president K. Veeramani immediately after Alagiri left. As soon as Stalin entered the room, an emotionally upset Kalaginar broke down and hugged him,” a senior party leader close to the family told Deccan Chronicle.
“Though Perasiriyar, as general secretary, issued the suspension statement, every comma and full stop in it was Kalaignar’s. Such was the mood thalaivar was in,” a party leader opined understandably conceding that the PCR complaint against party district secretary in Madurai was the last straw an already provoked Anna Arivalayam could not put up with after the disturbing “no frills” TV interview with impromptu remarks against Vijayakanth.
His sudden defence of loyalists suspended for lodging PCR complaints has vindicated that all mischief committed by loyalists in the last month were at his behest, his initial disowning of some loyalists notwithstanding. Overtly advising cadres at Melur to abstain from party activity even after the rapprochement with father on Pongal eve was another costly mistake that resulted in Alagiri’s undoing.
