Rift with Alagiri media creation says Stalin

Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister
M.K. Stalin on Thursday dismissed as “media
creation” the reported differences between him
and his elder brother M.K. Alagiri over the
succession issue in the DMK. "It is a creation
of the media," Mr. Stalin said when asked about
his elder brother Mr. Alagiri’s remarks that the
latter could only accept party president M.
Karunanidhi as his leader.

Earlier in the day, Mr. Alagiri stuck to
his stand that he would not accept anybody other than
his father as party leader. Mr. Karunanidhi, in a bid to
put an end to the succession war, had said on Wednesday
that only the party had the powers to name a leader and
even he could not do so.
