When Karunanidhi attempted to revamp DMK in 1999
The Hindu reports that M.K. Stalin, former Tamil Nadu chief minister and current DMK president, has launched a comprehensive restructuring of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam after the party’s loss in the 2026 state assembly elections. The move echoes a similar revamp effort undertaken by his father, Karunanidhi, in 1999, aiming to modernize the party’s organization and improve electoral performance.
