Coimbatore, Jul 23: Senior leader and union minister MK Alagiri arrived here on Saturday July 23 to participate in the DMK’s general council meeting.
Isssues regarding the party's strained ties with Congress and other issues will reportedly be discussed at the meeting.
Alagiri has said that his father Karunanidhi was healthy enough to continue as party leader and there was no need for replacement at present. However, his supporters were upset since their leader's pictures found no place in the posters put up across the city for the meeting of the General Council.
The meeting is the first of its kind after the party lost the last assembly elections in April.
Alagiri is also in a rift with his brother Stalin over the latter's possibility of being given greater responsibility in the party, and earlier there had been reports that he would probably boycott the meeting.
