DMK president M.K. Stalin on Friday directed some of his party’s functionaries who violated the terms of the coalition agreement to resign from their posts immediately. Some DMK members contested in the indirect elections for the posts allotted to the allies and won. Mr. Stalin also expressed regret to the leaders of the allies over the development.
Mr. Stalin warned such functionaries that they would be divested of the primary membership of the party if they did not resign immediately. He also directed the district secretaries and in-charge leaders to take necessary action.
“Those of you who contested on the DMK symbol in the indirect elections and brought disrepute to the party should immediately step down from these posts. After that, come and meet me,” Mr. Stalin said.
