Secular ideology, loyal support base in certain pockets make CPM And CPI good alliance partners for the DMK
"If I had not come across Periyar, I would have become a Communist,” former chief minister M Karunanidhi used to say often when in the company of Communist leaders. No wonder the comrades had a special place in his heart.
Earlier this month, Karunanidhi’s son and current DMK president M K Stalin prevailed upon the CPM and CPI to settle for a mere six assembly seats each. While the talks stretched over a few rounds before Stalin signed the deals, he was at no moment willing to let them go.
