It’s a question that has been posed to the DMK multiple times. Will Kalaignar Karunanidhi make way for his son MK Stalin and project him as the chief ministerial candidate of the DMK?

93-year-old Karunanidhi has been Tamil Nadu’s chief minister five times and speculation about when he would hand over the reins to his 63-year-old son MK Stalin has been on for years.

It is justified that people have such an expectation. But Kalaignar is a 93-year-old youngster, he works like a 39-year-old. And when Kalaignar is there, there is no question of another CM candidate for the DMK.

When asked whether it was wrong for young voters to expect a comparatively younger CM, he said that though the expectation was right, Kalaignar was DMK’s CM candidate.
