Modi Karunanidhi

A day after releasing his party's manifesto for the Lok Sabha elections, DMK President MK Stalin on Wednesday launched his campaign from father M Karunanidhi's birthplace Tiruvarur. Addressing a rally, the DMK leader said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure will end on June 3 - which also happens to be M Karunanidhi's birth anniversary.

At an event in Chennai to unveil his life-size statue on Sunday, his son and now DMK chief MK Stalin referred to Karunanidhi's endorsement for members of the Gandhi family and ended up continuing the tradition.

DMK chief MK Stalin has proposed the name of Congress president Rahul Gandhi as the prime ministerial candidate for 2019. "Rahul has got the ability to defeat fascist Modi government. Let's strengthen Rahul Gandhi's hands, let's save the country," he said at an opposition event in Chennai.

MK Stalin stepped into his father M Karunanidhi's shoes today, formally taking over as the chief of the DMK, with a call to arms for his partymen. "My dream is to oppose who give a religious colour to everything. It is not my dream but Tamil Nadu's dream... We will teach a lesson to the Narendra Modi government," said the new party chief.

A day ahead of a key meeting of the DMK, the eldest son of M Karunanidhi, who was expelled from the party four years ago, was seen at his father's memorial at Chennai's Marina Beach. MK Alagiri, 67, told reporters that he had come to pay respects to his father. In that context, he also added that he has the support of his father's loyalists - a sta...

Prime Minister Narendra Modi put out a series of tweets in tribute to DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi, who died at 94 this evening.

Former Tamil Nadu chief minister and DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi's health has deteriorated and he is being treated at his home in Chennai. Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to his son MK Stalin and daughter Kanimozhi, both DMK leaders, to ask about his health, and offered all help.

A day after she was declared not guilty in the 2G spectrum scam, billed as one of the country's greatest scams, M Kanimozhi said that her time in prison has made her a wiser politician

Tamil Nadu's opposition DMK has denied that its postponement of the scheduled "Black Day" protests against demonetisation in eight districts of the state has any link with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to its ailing patriarch M Karunanidhi.

A serving Prime Minister paying a courtesy call on an ailing state patriarch is hardly breaking news. Yet, every attempt is being made to read hidden meaning into a ten-minute encounter (some accounts say "12 minutes") in Chennai, where Modi had gone to attend the platinum jubilee of a major Tamil newspaper.

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the chief of the DMK at his home in Chennai, the political stock of the regional party in Tamil Nadu is soaring. "It creates a good talking point in Tamil Nadu," said a BJP source who did not want to be identified, adding that "the PM's invitation was issued to mitigate the atmosphere of animosity."
