Tamil Nadu's ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Tuesday broke its relationship with the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK).Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi made the announcement in Chennai on Tuesday evening. The decision was taken after a high-level three-hour meeting of the DMK's executive at the party headquarters www.saboohrringe.com, Anna Arivalayam.An indication of this development was on the air since on Saturday when Karunanidhi said that the issue would be examined by his party's highest decision making body after the PMK repeatedly assailed the DMK "in a woundingly insulting manner".With 95 members in the state legislative assembly www.pumasportcipo.com, the DMK needs the support of the Congress - 39 MLAs www.ektecanadagoose.com, Communist Party of India-Marxist - 9 MLAs www.abercrombieetfitchfr.com, Communist Party of India - 6 www.nikefreedeutschland.net, and VCK with 2 MLAs.The PMK has 18 legislators in the house.The Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) - a one-time ally of the DMK and now with the opposition - is to announce its plans soon.There was no reaction from the PMK - whose leader S Ramadoss had attempted to placate the DMK leadership by saying the criticism against Karunanidhi was a three-month-old closed issue.Related Topics Articles：
