Karunanidhi puts riders for prospective allies for LS polls

M Karunanidhi

Addressing the party's tenth State level conference, Karunanidhi said the present alliance inclusive of Indian Union Muslim League, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi and Manithenya Makkal Katchi, who were "committed" to secularism and social justice, could be expanded to a bigger coalition with parties that accept the Sethu Samudram Project.
   
Accusing Chief Minister Jayalalithaa yet again of stalling the Sethu Samudram Project as it was "initiated by the DMK regime," he wondered how her party which was named after Anna could oppose the late leader's dream project.
   
Stating that several projects started during his regime including the equitable education plan were put on hold after Jayalalithaa assumed office, he said the education plan was resumed only after the intervention of courts.
   
Accusing Jayalalithaa of adopting double standards in the Cauvery issue, he alleged that she was "dragging the case" related to disproportionate assets against her in a Bangalore court.
   
Earlier, he launched a party website, which witnessed a huge turnout of party workers.
