DMK treasurer M.K.Stalin on Thursday said that he had never projected himself as the Chief Minister candidate and reiterated that party leader and his father M. Karunanidhi would be the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for the sixth time after the 2016 polls.
“I have been saying only our leader will be the Chief Minister and even in the recent anti-liquor conference organised by the party's women's wing, I made it clear that as a Chief Minister his first signature would be for implementation of prohibition,” he said reacting to his elder brother M.K. Alagiri's remarks that it would not augur well for the party if Mr. Stalin was named as the Chief Minister candidate.
Alleging that persons such as Mr. Alagiri, who were expelled from the DMK, had been expressing their opinion on the recently released poll survey to create confusion in the party, Mr. Stalin said he was nurturing the idea of becoming the Chief Minister. “I am following a healthy political culture to strengthen the DMK. Some people are expressing their views only to create confusion and party leaders and cadres need not take them seriously. I am not ready to indulge in tit-for-tat argument with these people. Media may blow their views out of proportion. But the DMK has no reason to take them seriously,” he said.
