Suspended DMK leader MK Alagiri is likely to launch his own party. Alagiri, who is the son of DMK chief M Karunanidhi says the decision will be made after the polls.

Alagiri had recently been given a veiled warning by his father after he opposed an alliance between DMK and the DMDK, a regional party headed by former actor Vijayakanth, who is also being wooed by the BJP.

The suspended leader had told a TV channel that he did not consider captain (as Vijayakanth is called by his partymen) a politician. Karunanidhi had termed Alagiri's remarks about the DMDK chief as regrettable and condemnable.
