'DMK may team up with Cong. '

By Our Special Correspondent

Chennai Dec. 15. The DMK chief, M.Karunanidhi today indicated the possibility of coordinating with the Congress and the Left parties to take on the "anarchic" AIADMK government.

"It is possible. Anything is possible in politics," Mr.Karunanidhi quipped, in response to a query from mediapersons. Significantly, Mr. Karunanidhi refused to join issue with the Congress for its executive resolution accusing the DMK of continuing an "opportunistic" alliance with the BJP at the Centre.

"I do not like to make any comment that would weaken the fight against the AIADMK government. To fight the anarchic regime, we need a strong, united force."

On poll triumph of the BJP in Gujarat, he disagreed with suggestions that it was a victory for communal forces. "Neither the Prime Minister nor Mr.Advani sought votes for religious fundamentalism," he said, congratulating the Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, on his victory.
