When Sonia Gandhi let fly at the DMK
June 21, 2013  16:10
Here's more on the Congress-DMK jugalbandi over Kanimozhi's Rajya Sabha election. 

Sources say the DMK experienced Sonia Gandhi's wrath when its leader T R Baalu sought the Congress's five votes of Tamil Nadu MLAs for Kanimozhi to win her Rajya Sabha seat. 

Apparently Sonia let fly, asking 'Who provoked the DMK to withdraw support to the UPA? And now who asked you to plead for five Congress MLAs' support? Is it politics that in six months you reverse your decision? The DMK used the Sri Lankan Tamil issue as a reason to walk out of UPA, and now you come and ask for five votes?'

Sonia's real anger, it seems, was made known to the DMK that day. And that she chose T R Baalu to vent her anger also showed that knew well that it was him who pushed M K Stalin to announce the DMK's pullout from UPA2.
