| Summary / Abstract (Note) | How does one explain the paradigm shift in New Delhi-Chennai equation? Was it due to the "coalition dharma" practiced by the central government, in which the DMK is an important partner? Was it due to Karunanidhi's keen desire to strengthen his political links with Congress President Sonia Gandhi at a time when sections within the congress were toying with the idea of a coalition with the AIADMK in the post election scenario? Was the policy dictated by the Chief Minister's desire to ensure important cabinet berths to his near and dear ones in the Central Government? |
