'''Muthuvel Karunanidhi Azhagiri''', ({{lang-ta|மு.க. அழகிரி}}) generally known as '''M. K. Azhagiri''', is an [[India]]n politician. The elder son of the head of the [[Dravida Munnetra Kazagham]], [[Karunanidhi]], he is a candidate to succeed him as party president. |
|||
Although he harboured hopes of eventual accession to the post of President, Karunanidhi always appeared to prefer his younger son, [[M.K. Stalin]], a former mayor of [[Chennai]] and currently a minister in the state cabinet. In fact, in 2000, orders went out that partymembers should 'distance' themselves from Azhagiri<ref>[http://www.tehelka.com/story_main18.asp?filename=Ne051306up_close.asp Tehelka - The People's Paper<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. |
|||
Following clashes between the supporters of M. K. Stalin and M. K. Azhagiri, he was sent to manage the party in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu from Madurai, while M. K. Stalin was retained in Chennai to manage the party in the northern districts. |
|||
The succession crisis came out into the open when party members loyal to Azhagiri attacked the [[Madurai]] office of [[Dinakaran]] (and killed 3 staff), part of the [[Sun TV]] group owned by [[Kalanidhi Maran]]<ref>[http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1095852 DNA - India - Sun Network accuses Azhagiri as being main culprit in Dinakaran attack - Daily News & Analysis<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. |
