A day after regional Dravida Munnetra Kazgham (DMK) swept polls in Tamil Nadu, Governor Surjeet Singh Barnala invited party chief M Karunanidhi to form government in the State on Friday. 82-year-old Karunanidhi will be sworn in as the Chief Minister on Saturday. Barnala invited Karunanidhi as the latter called upon him to stake claim for forming the government. Meanwhile, Congress- an ally of DMK in the State, pledged full support to Karunanidhi. We have also assured him our unconditional support for the formation of the government by him under the DMK leadership. We have pledged and that kind of letter will be given by Congress president Krishnaswany within half an hour, said Verappa Moily, senior Congress leader, after meeting Karunanidhi. DMK-led Democratic Progressive Alliance (DPA) won 163 seats in The 234-strong assembly. The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazgham, headed by outgoing chief J Jayalalithaa who resigned immediately after the results were announced, could manage only 68 seats. (ANI)
