Eyebrows were raised in News Delhi even as TN Deputy CM M K Stalin and Union Minister M K Alagiri together met Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Thursday, an unusual sight. The meeting attached no political meaning as Union Minister M K Alagiri wanted to invite the PM for his son Dayanidhi Alagiri’s marriage scheduled to be held next month in TN and so the two brothers had gone to invite him it was stated. Alagiri and Stalin are on a two-day visit to New Delhi and met Dr Singh at his residence in the morning. Stalin said that apart from the invite they had discussed some progress of some developmental projects in the state. Stalin clarified politics was not discussed during the meeting. Alagiri met President Pratibha Patil, Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi later and invited them for Dayanidhi''s wedding. It is public knowledge that Alagiri does not see eye to eye with his brother Stalin who is being projected as the future Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Moreover Alagiri is unhappy to be at the Centre as this keeps him out of active politics in his home ground of Madurai where he enjoys immense popularity.
