Karunanidhi's First family teams up against Kanimozhi

Dayanidhi Maran shared dais with M.K.Alagiri in Madurai. Maran touched Alagiri's feet when he came to dais before delivering the speech. This happened during inauguration of 100 Crore Textile park near Madurai. Maran and Alagiri were on opposite camps in the past. In the past Alagiri and Kanimozhi were considered closer. It was believed Alagiri supported Kanimozhi's candidacy for Rajya Sabha.

Tamil Daily owned by Maran brothers published a poll results which triggered violence in Madurai. Three Sun network employees were killed.This costed Dayanidhi cabinet job in UPA-1. In the end, case against Alagiri's supporters were weakened by family patch work. It was believed M.K.Stalin, Selvi and Maran brothers were in one camp. M.K.Alagiri and Kanimozhi on the other. This was out of necessity more than anything else.

Nira Radia tapes, 2G spectrum scandal and alleged involvement by Kanimozhi, Voltas land deal are tarnishing DMK image. Raja considered close to Kanimozhi. This realigns the internal politics within DMK. Now Karunanidhi/Dayalu kids (Alagiri, Stalin, Selvi) and Maran brothers wants to cut the loss by suspending A.Raja from the party. They also want Kanimozhi out of politics. Kanimozhi avoided Alagiri in the airport but spoke to Subramania Sway who filed the case in SC against Raja.

Time will tell how Karunanidhi is going to manage this round of family feud.
