Typical Karunanidhi double speak.
DMK is with Congress at the Centre,in his words ‘for Lok Sabha‘.
Wait for the announcement of Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu!
Depending on Kanimozhi‘s release( which is expected by September 30th; read my blog on this ‘Kanimozhi to be release?’), he will decide whether to continue the Alliance with Congress for the Assembly polls.
In fact the present posturing is to threaten the Congress.
Those who know Karunanidhi will not be surprised by his glaring contradictory stance.
He will call for Autonomy for Tamil Nadu when in Opposition, and preach of strong Center while in power.
He will lecture on Tamil ,Tamil Race,-his grand children will study in Convents.
He will ridicule Hinduism/Hindus.
He will wear Yellow Shawl to please Jupiter( Guru Dhosham)
He calls for Self respect Marriage (as though there is no such thing in Hindu marriages)
Yet he will have purohits for his children’s marriages,perform all ceremonies.
He will visit temples including Tanjore Big temple, enter by a side entrance,because superstition has it that those who enter the Temple -when in power- directly shall lose power, with Silk Dhoti and Angavastram to escape the curse.
Any way he lost power and has added to to the Myth.
His family will perform Homas in Tirukkadavur for His Longevity, do Ragu Dosha Nivritti at Sri Kalahasti.
He will support Tamil Elam, weep for Tamils in Sri Lanka, his daughter will meet with Rajapakshe.
He will meet the Governor when their cable business is threatened but will not enter the area of Governor when Tamils are being killed.
There can be only one Karunanidhi.
“The ties between the two parties at the time Lok Sabha and Assembly polls will not break and it will continue. We are on good terms with the Centre,” Karunanidhi told reporters when asked whether his decision to go it alone for local body elections would affect DMK’s relations with Congress.
Asked whether any Congress leader spoke to him after his announcement on Wednesday, he replied in the negative.
“We have already mentioned clearly in the statement. We have not said there is no relationship with Congress. There is no alliance for the Local Body Elections and DMK will contest alone was the only announcement I made,” he said adding local body polls are based on people’s basic needs.
“There is no need to mix politics in this,” he said.
