Karunanidhi flays Narendra Modi for attacking DMK

Chennai: DMK president M Karunanidhi on Monday denounced BJP`s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for saying that the AIADMK and the DMK were taking Tamil Nadu`s people for granted.

Modi made the remarks at an election rally here. He added that the two Tamil parties were not bothered about people`s welfare. Karunanidhi told reporters that Modi`s comments were enough to earn the "Tamil people`s displeasure". Modi also told the rally that people should vote for the six-party alliance that includes the BJP in Tamil Nadu in the Lok Sabha election. Queried about Modi`s meeting with actor Rajnikanth and the latter`s comments that the Gujarat chief minister was an able administrator, the DMK chief said: "No comments."
