cHENNAI: Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi on Sunday came out against the idea of bifurcating the state, as suggested by PMK founder,ramadoss, saying that there was no scope for dividing Tamil Nadu
On the violence in Andhra Pradesh and the way the UPA government has handled the new state Telangana demand, Karunanidhi criticised the Centre, saying that ‘‘the lesson to be drawn from the present crisis is that one should neither make a belated announcement nor a hasty decision thereafter’’.
Talking to reporters after reviewing the progress of work on the Rs 172-crore state library in Kotturpuram, Karunanidhi said there was no room for bifurcation of Tamil Nadu. ‘‘Such a thought doesn’t exist in either DMK or in the minds of Tamils,’’ he told reporters who sought his reaction to Ramadoss’s suggestion that smaller states could be better administered and that a new state could be carved out of the state’s southern region, with Madurai as its capital.
