New Delhi:
In the wake of the reports that the deadlock between the DMK and the Congress has been sorted out, NDTV has learnt that TR Baalu getting Deputy Speaker's post is out of question.
Earlier, after the talks between the Congress and the DMK on Sunday, there were reports that Baalu may be made the Deputy Speaker.
Sources have also told NDTV that there is an unlikely scenario that there will be an independent charge for Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi.
Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's son M K Azhagiri, who is tipped to become a Cabinet minister left for New Delhi on Monday.
Azhagiri's departure, along with his family members and some supporters, comes in the wake of report that his party worked out a formula with Congress under which the DMK would be provided with three Cabinet berths.
Besides Azhagiri, his cousin Dayanidhi Maran and senior DMK leader A Raja are tipped to join the UPA government as Cabinet ministers along with four Ministers of State.
According to reports in Chennai, Azhagiri may take over as Minister for Chemicals and Fertilisers while Maran and Raja will be handling Textiles and IT and Communications, respectively.
However, there was no information on the departure of other DMK MPs including its Parliamentary party leader and former union minister T R Baalu.
Meanwhile, after two days of hectic parleys with his party colleagues, Karunanidhi left for the Secretariat, with a slew of official engagements listed for him.
