Tamil Nadu: Can’t afford another poll, our aim to ensure stable government, says DMK

CHENNAI: Amid reports of talks between DMK and AIADMK for a post-poll tie-up, DMK legislature party has empowered outgoing CM M K Stalin to “study the evolving political situation and take immediate decisions” to ensure the formation of a stable govt. A resolution to this effect was passed at a meeting of DMK MLAs chaired by Stalin in Chennai on Thursday. DMK sources said that Stalin has told the MLAs that they should abide by any decision taken by the high command in the interest of the party. DMK neither denied talks were on for a DMK-AIADMK alliance nor ruled out the possibility of such a pact between the two Dravidian rivals. On being asked about reports on a DMK-AIADMK alliance, DMK organisational secretary T K S Elangovan said, “No such decision has been taken… But we will all abide by any decision taken by our representative (Stalin).” VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan hinted that the two parties were discussing an alliance. “It hasn’t taken shape yet. Once it takes shape, I will comment,” he said when asked on a possible DMK-AIADMK pact. The AIADMK camp, however, remained tight-lipped. DMK’s resolution at the legislature party meeting noted that the assembly election has produced a verdict in which no party has secured a majority. “This is a sensitive and complicated political situation. As Tamil Nadu is not prepared for another election, DMK’s foremost objective is to ensure the formation of a stable govt while keeping away communal forces,” the resolution said.
