DMK ministers arrive in Delhi to submit their resignations to Manmohan Singh

Six DMK Union ministers including MK Alagiri, D Napoleon and Dayanidhi Maran left Chennai on Monday to submit their resignations to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at 11am in Delhi.

The DMK in a meeting on Saturday passed a resolution to pull its ministers out of the UPA cabinet following a conflict with the Congress over seat-sharing for the forthcoming Tamil Nadu  elections. The DMK has called the Congress’ demand to contest 63 out of the 234 constituencies as “unjustified”.
