As the 2G scam hits closer to home, the Karunanidhi clan is getting more and more irritable. Patriarch and Tamil Nadu CM M. Karunanidhi is also increasingly miffed with the media. Last week, when AIADMK chief J. Jayalalitha said his family members should be made co-accused, the CM was livid. “Just because I have a family, tathaarigal (those who have no family—an obvious reference to Amma, who is a spinster) are making such demands,” he raged. And to the hapless reporter who persisted, he asked, “Do you have a family?” A few weeks ago,the normally amiable DMK chief’s daughter Kanimozhi also snapped at a reporter when asked why the Chennai Sangamam festival (of which she is a patron and Father Gasper, who was raided by the CBI, a prominent organiser) was not so successful this year. “Why don’t you organise it next time?” was her caustic retort.
