Time for Chief Minister Karunanidhi to quit: Dr.Swamy

by Our Correspondent in Chennai

(December, 19, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy has said that time has come for Tamilnadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi to go into retirement.

In a statement issued in Chennai on Tuesday evening, Swamy said, ‘It is time for Karunanidhi to realise that his brand of Dravidian politics has failed.

Tamilnadu is largely of Hindu-minded people and other minorities live in harmony. Hence rationalism of the Dravidar Kazhagam variety to which Karunanidhi claims legacy, has no future in the State. It is now time for him to go into retirement,’ he said.

Stating the resolution passed in the DMK youth wing convention at Tirunelveli, Swamy said it exhibited the anger and deep frustration of DMK at not being able to implement Sethusamudaram Ship Channel Project.

The DMK for the first time is frustrated for not doing what it wanted, he added.

The Janata Party leader said that the DMK has always thought that if it is in power in the State and a coalition partner in the Centre they can get anything of their choice implemented .
