Stalin meets Vaiko, fuels DMK-MDMK alliance speculation
Chennai : M K Stalin met MDMK founder Vaiko at the wedding of PMK leader S Ramadoss’s granddaughter in Mahabalipuram on Wednesday, days after the DMK treasurer hinted at a broad alliance between opposition parties against the ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu.
The meeting gained political significance as Vaiko had left DMK in 1993 due to differences over M Karunanidhi promoting his son Stalin to succeed him in the party.
The two leaders met at the wedding of the daughter of PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss, former union health minister and son of S Ramadoss.
“It has become an occasion for old allies to meet once again. It has its own significance as there are talks going on to form a new alliance against AIADMK after J Jayalalithaa’s conviction (in a disproportionate assets case),” said a senior DMK leader.
Refusing to comment on any specific conversation at the meeting, he said both leaders exchanged pleasantries.
After attending the high-profile wedding function, Vaiko told reporters that he asked Stalin about Karunanidhi’s health. Both leaders, however, did not make any political dialogue or discuss possibilities of forging an alliance.
In a recent interview with a Tamil news channel, Stalin had hinted at such an alliance and made pleasant remarks about both MDMK and Ramadoss’s PMK.
Political experts saw it as a strategic move from Stalin, especially after the conviction of Jayalalithaa, prior to the Assembly elections in 2016.
If the rumour surrounding the meeting of Stalin and Vaiko comes true, it would be the making of a rainbow alliance in Tamil Nadu — consisting DMK, PMK, MDMK, DMDK and Left parties.
