The seven-year-old Congress-Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam alliance virtually ended on Saturday with the DMK ministers deciding to withdraw from the Union Cabinet.
"We will extend issue-based support to the United Progressive Alliance [ Images ] government," the DMK said in statement following a high-level meeting of 27 of its top leaders. Party supremo M Karunanidhi [ Images ] was also present at the meeting.
The statement also said that the Congress was clear that it did not want to continue the alliance and that is why asked for 63 seats in the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly elections even after the DMK decided to allot 60 seats. "All these developments clearly indicate that the Congress was hell bent on defying and taunting the DMK and there is no way the alliance can continue in the current situation," the statement said.
