After being appointed as DMK’s South Zone Organising Secretary, M K Azhagiri, the strongman of the party’s Affairs in the Southern districts, and the elder son of party Supremo M Karunanidhi, is expected to contest the coming Lok Sabha elections from Madurai.
Party sources, quoting the remarks of Madurai Rural District Secretary P Murthy, MLA in the recent District Committee meeting, here on Sunday said Mr Azhagiri was expected to swing into active politics after he ensured victory for the party in the recently concluded Tirumangalam Assembly bypoll.
The sources said DMK's victory in Tirumangalam was not only considered to be a litmus test of the organising capabilities of Mr Azhagiri, but it also sent strong signals to the opposition that he would ensure huge victory for DMK in the coming elections.
Mr Murthy, in his address at the meeting of Madurai Rural District DMK functionaries, called upon the partymen to get ready for the Lok Sabha polls, as 'Anja Nenjar' Mr Azhagiri is fondly called as 'Brave Heart' by partymen in Southern districts) would contest the poll from Madurai seat.
He urged the party functionaries to begin works of setting up booth committees and other works to face the elections.
Interestingly, in the meeting, chaired by party District Presidium Chairman Arunachalam, a resolution was passed unanimously urging Mr Azhagiri to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Madurai.
Mr Azhagiri, who had refused to accept any post in the party over the years, however, controlled the party affairs in the Southern districts.
He was rewarded with the newly-created post of 'Organising Secretary' of the DMK in South Zone by the High Command after the impressive victory in the Tirumangalam by-election.
