Like father, like son
It’s a New Year but in the DMK, nothing has changed. Whether he accepts it or not, it’s a like father like son syndrome for Tamil Nadu CM M Karunanidhi. Last week he enacted a drama by not going to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh either at the airport or at the reception at Raj Bhavan, And after he let everyone know how important he was that he can stand up the most important person in the country, he let son and deputy CM "prevail" upon him to show up the next morning. He even got the PM, who some months ago had got the DMK in a sulk by saying the Congress-DMK alliance was intact “for now”, to declare the relationship was “warm” and “cordial.”
