| It's now open war within the DMK's first family. Party chief M Karunanidhi's son, MK Alagiri has reportedly submitted his resignation from the Cabinet. He was Minister for Chemicals and Fertilisers. Alagiri has also quit his post within the DMK as Organising Secretary.
Alagiri is reportedly demanding that his father sack A Raja, at the centre of the 2G telecom scam, from all party posts.
Raja was forced to resign as Telecom Minister in November after the government's auditor blamed him for costing the government up to 1.76 lakh crores by deliberately mishandling the allocation of mobile licenses in 2008.
Sources say Mr Alagiri's resignation letter was submitted last evening to his father, and that the Prime Minister's office has yet to receive it.
