(August 22, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) Making his stand clear that he is no more in a mood to accommodate the Communists in the DMK-led Democratic Progressive Alliance, Chief Minister and DMK president M Karunanidhi Friday said the conspiracy hatched by the Left parties to walk out of the alliance has come out in open now.
In a hard-hitting statement Chennai, Karunanidhi took at a dig at the Left parties for criticising the DMK for being a part of the Congress-led UPA government in the Centre.
‘The CPI-M leader N Varadarajan has warned us to snap ties with the Congress stating that the national party was defeated in the Assembly elections held in the States of Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh and Jharkand due to its wrong economic policies.
Didn’t he know this before the confidence vote? Wasn’t his party a part of the alliance when the Congress failed to win in these States?’ Karunandhi asked in his typical rhetorical style.
Stating that he knew very well how many times that the leaders of the Left parties held discussions with the Congress so that they would not have to ‘jump out of the sinking boat’, the DMK president wanted to know whether the Indo-US nuclear deal was the real reason for the Communists withdrawing their support to the UPA government.
‘The remarks of the Left leaders for the past one month clearly show that they are planning to walk out of the DMK fold. However, I take Varadarajan’s prediction as a blessing,’ said the octogenarian politician.
Karunanidhi also expressed his unhappiness over the remarks of Varadarajan even after he came out with an explanation over the speech of his longtime colleague and State Minister Arcot N Veerasamy.
To the criticism being made by the Communists that the DMK forged an alliance with the BJP even after the saffron party demolished the Babri Masjid, the Chief Minister, quoting his speech in the Assembly during March 2000, said the CPI was a part of the governments formed by Akali Dal, Bharatiya Kranti Dal and Jansangh in Punab, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in the 1967 elections.
‘The Communists extended their support to the Morarji Desai government at the Centre in 1977, in which Atal Behari Vajpayee, Advani and Nanaji Deshmukh were partners,’ he said.
It has to be noted that the pent-up animosity between the ruling DMK and the Communist parties came out in open on Thursday after CPI State secretary D Pandian hit out at senior DMK leader and Electricity Minister Arcot N Veerasamy that the latter’s speech on Wednesday showed his ‘political ignorance’.
In his Wednesday’s speech, Veerasamy has said that that those who opposed the Indo-US nuclear deal would vanish from the political arena in the forthcoming elections.
