DMK politico M.K. Alagiri, as grapevine has it, is planning to quit as chemicals and fertiliser minister. He prefers the hurly burly of Tamil Nadu politics – perhaps a great deal owing to the language factor.
The son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi is not very comfortable speaking in English or Hindi and would prefer any day the familiar sounds of of his mother tongue.
Alagiri did not attend the question hour proceedings in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha last week as he found it difficult to reply in either Hindu or English.
