Raja takes First wicket, Azhagiri resigns.

It has been on the card that both M.K.Stalin and Azhagiri were insistent on sacking Raja the moment 2G scam hit , as they felt that with the elections looming near,Raja would be a liability..Karunanidhi  was not in favor of the suggestion.

The covert reason is that Kanimozhi M.P.,daughter of Karunanidhi through his companion(?) was in favor of retaining Raja .CIT colony, is the second or is it the first(?) power center of DMK(the others being MK.Stalin and Azhagiri-note the party has no say involvement in running the Government/party)

Also Azhagiri is reported to be in a rage over the remarks of Poongothai,Minister of DMK who was sacked for trying to influence vigilance department(I think she has been taken back after some time-one tends to forget the convolutions of Tamil Nadu politics) to Radia and Kanimozhi’s remarks about him in the notorious Radia tapes.(He was called a ruffian and uneducated).

For the time being Stalin and Azhagiri who were at each other’s throats are now together in the wake of the new power centre trying to exert influence.

The main grouse of both Congress and DMK about Raja is that he had cornered more share of 2G loot than them.

DMK/Congress are wary of prosecuting Raj lest he may spill the beans.

Story:

Chennai: It’s once again open war within the DMK’s first family. Party chief M Karunanidhi‘s son, MK Alagiri has reportedly submitted his resignation from the Cabinet. He was Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers. Alagiri has also quit his post within the DMK as Organising Secretary.

Mr Alagiri is reportedly demanding that his father sack A Raja, at the centre of the 2G Telecom scam, from his party position as “Propaganda Secretary.” Mr Alagiri has also said he wants to concentrate on state politics, turf that had been reserved for his brother, MK Stalin, by his father.
