| CBI takes raids to DMK's door |

| The perfect storm of the 2G scam broke especially hard over Chennai this morning, as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted multiple raids at the homes and offices of those close to the senior-most leaders of Tamil Nadu's DMK party.
The sources in the DMK, which is a crucial ally in the UPA government, have said the party is unhappy with the raids. The alliance was tested when A Raja was forced to exit as Telecom Minister last month - at that time, however, both the Congress and the DMK said their partnership was intact.
But the precarious balance could be shaken today by the raids at 34 places (27 in Tamil Nadu and 7 in Delhi) that included senior journalist Kamaraj, and an NGO in Chennai that enjoys the patronage of Kanimozhi, who is Karunanidhi's daughter, a Rajya Sabha MP and a staunch supporter of Raja's. The NGO Maiyam, run by Father Jegath Gaspar, organises the Chennai marathon and other major local events. Kanimozhi is a Director of the NGO. Sources say the CBI believes that the money trail in the 2G scam may include the NGO. Auditor of Kanimozhi's mother has also been raided.
CBI raided Raja's ancestral home in Perambalur as well as his brother Kaliyaperumal's agency. The agency is a dealer for a leading cigarette maker.
