  • Muthuvel Karunanidhi Alagiri, generally known as M. K. Alagiri, is an Indian politician and a Cabinet Minister. The elder son of the head of the Dravida Munnetra Kazagham, Karunanidhi's second wife Mrs. Dayalu Ammal. Although he harboured hopes of eventual accession to the post of President, Karunanidhi always appeared to prefer his younger son, M.K. Stalin, a former mayor of Chennai and currently a minister in the state cabinet. In fact, in 2000, orders went out that partymembers should 'distance' themselves from Azhagiri. Following clashes between the supporters of M. K. Stalin and M. K. Alagiri, he was sent to manage the party in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu from Madurai, while M. K. Stalin was retained in Chennai to manage the party in the northern districts. The succession crisis came out into the open when party members loyal to Alagiri attacked the Madurai office of Dinakaran and set it to fire, in which three staffs were burnt. The Dinakaran is a part of the Sun TV group owned by Kalanidhi Maran.
