Karunanidhi&#8217;s eldest son M.K. Alagiri on Monday said he would decide on floating a new party in two months&#8217; time. Speaking to reporters here, Alagiri said he would discuss with his supporters and take a decision. Jan 24, the DMK temporarily suspended Alagiri for creating confusion in the party ranks and criticising the disciplinary action taken against some colleagues for &#8220;anti-party activities&#8221;. Alagiri, 63, son of Karunanidhi, 89, is opposed to his brother M.K. Stalin, 61, being elected to the party&#8217;s top post.<\/p>\n<p>The Alagiri-Stalin rivalry has plagued the DMK for a long time, and Karunanidhi has managed to keep a fragile peace within the party. Responding to a query on Alagiri&#8217;s plans to launch a new party, Karunanidhi told reporters here: &#8220;This meeting is for announcing DMK&#8217;s candidates for the general elections. All I can say is that do not ask me unnecessary questions that hurt me.&#8221; Prior to his suspension, Alagiri was the DMK&#8217;s organising secretary for south zone. The post is still vacant.<\/p>\n<p>DMK officials said the party is under the control of Stalin and Alagiri does not have any major say now after his supporters were also suspended for anti-party activities. Alagiri has announced he is not seeking election to the Lok Sabha.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DMK president M. Karunanidhi&#8217;s eldest son M.K.
