Ever since Karunanidhi’s son Alaigiri has been in the headlines in relation with illegal mining in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, his body language reading his role in the Central government has changed. It is nothing short of a miracle that Alaigiri, who always chose to stay away from Delhi, has been in the capital for the past three days. It is also interesting to note that usually absent from all Cabinet meetings, Alaigiri’s presence was seen in these meetings, too. He also paid heed to the prime minister’s lessons where Dr Manmohan Singh had given a long lecture on “FDI delay in pharma sector”.
