DMK Renominates Raja, Dayanidhi; No Ticket For Alagiri

Flanked by his son and daughter, Stalin and Kanimozhi, besides DMK general secretary K Anbazhagan among others, Karunanidhi said today's list was subject to change, seen as an indication that some more allies could join his party-led Democratic Progressive Alliance (DPA).

He however said no parleys had been held with the two Left parties, CPI-M and CPI, who had walked out of AIADMK alliance last week, miffed over the Jayalalithaa-led party's approach towards seat-sharing talks.

Asked if his party would set a time-frame for the Left to consider joining DPA, he said a 'democratic and straight forward' party like his DMK cannot set terms in this regard.

Tamil Nadu has 39 Lok Sabha seats. When reporters sought to know if Congress could join DPA, he said he had only come across media reports in this regard.
