CHENNAI: In a shocking incident that brings to the fore the infighting in the DMK, Union minister M K Alagiri allegedly confronted his cabinet and party colleague, A Raja, at the Delhi airport on Wednesday night and abused him in public glare - much to the embarrassment of the latter and the party men around.
According to the proAIADMK channel, Jaya TV, Alagiri even raised his fist twice sitting inside the car even as Raja was standing outside pleading with him that they discuss the matter later at Alagiri's house.
Jaya TV reported that Raja had come to the airport to receive Deputy Chief Minister M K Stalin when Alagiri, who had landed by another flight from Chennai, was driving out at 8.30 pm. On spotting Raja, Alagiri stopped the car, called him and reportedly asked Raja if he, a married man, was not "ashamed" to "have an affair" with a woman. He also berated him for "bringing a bad name" to the party by "making money" in Delhi.
Though it is confirmed that Alagiri landed at Delhi airport on Wednesday, the news, coming close on the heels of AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalithaa attacking Alagiri in Madurai, raises a few questions. Not the least of them: Why should Alagiri choose a public place to confront Raja? After all, Alagiri could have pulled him up in Chennai itself - that too long ago when the nation was rocked by the 2G spectrum scandal
