New Delhi, Oct 25 (Inditop.com) The heat on Telecom Minister A. Raja for alleged irregularities in his department could ring in an opportunity for his DMK party colleague and parliament member T. R. Baalu.
He is keeping a hawk eye on developments after large-scale corruption was highlighted in the allocation of 2G (second generation) radio spectrum licences, putting the DMK is in a spot of bother as Raja heads the telecom ministry.
Out in the cold after cabinet induction eluded him, insiders in the party say Baalu sees a glimmer of hope that he could be possibly be accommodated should matters take a turn for the worse.
Chemicals and Fertiliser Minister M.K. Alagiri has already made known his displeasure in his tenure and that is why he spends more time in Madurai, his constituency.However, Baalu also realises that his efforts to position himself as a worthy contender may come to naught if strongman M.K. Karunanidhi decides to give a slot to his daughter and Rajya Sabha MP Kanimozhi.
