Azhagiri camp goes silent

Supporters of M.K. Azhagiri, expelled leader of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, went silent as his younger brother and arch rival M.K. Stalin addressed a huge gathering here on Sunday.

With the former Union Minister and party south zone organisational secretary Mr. Azhagiri away in Chennai, those in his camp chose to remain indoors and watch the DMK conference ‘live’ on Kalaignar TV.

“Yes, we are sad that the party conference is being held without

Annan Anjanenjan . That Stalin has managed to bring cadres from all over the south zone for the meeting is good for the party. But, this is not enough for the DMK to face the next Assembly election. It needs a workaholic like ‘Annan’ to keep the cadres’ spirit high,” a confidant of Mr. Azhagiri said.
