DMK rules out reconsidering its decision
DMK's Parliamentary Party leader TR Baalu said that Mukherjee called him last night and requested that the DMK chief should reconsider the decision to pull out his six ministers from the UPA Government . "As of now, there is no reconsideration by the DMK," Baalu said
Peeved over Congress demand for 63 seats as against the 60 agreed for the Apr 13 Assembly polls in the state, DMK had announced on Saturday its decision to walk out of the cabinet, saying it would extend only ''issue-based'' support.
Meanwhile, the six DMK Ministers, including MK Alagiri and Dayanidhi Maran, reached Delhi and are scheduled to hand over their resignation to Prime Minister this evening. "The Prime Minister has given them (DMK ministers) time at 6.30 PM)," a PMO source said.
Earlier in the day, one of the DMK ministers, S S Palanimanickam met Mukherjee in Parliament House. "All the DMK ministers will assemble at Alagiri's residence and then meet the Prime Minister," he said after meeting Mukherjee.
Before leaving for Delhi, Alagiri said, "We will meet the Prime Minister and submit our resignation. Nobody from the Congress met our chief Karunanidhi".
"We will not accept anything that hurts our self respect, our pride," Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment D Napolean said. He said the DMK ministers will give their resignation "in accordance with the decision taken by the party and on advise of Karunanidhi".
Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, who had negotiated with the DMK on seat sharing for Tamil Nadu assembly polls, said there was no breakthrough in the deadlock as of now.
"As of now there is no breakthrough. Let us hope.... (We will see) what is going to happen in the course of the day," Azad told reporters in Parliament.
