Karunanidhi does not give Vajpayee time in office till July

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi today averred that Prime Minister A B Vajpayee would not be in office by July.

Replying to a question in the state assembly on whether Vajpayee would be invited for the centenary celebrations of former chief minister P S Kumaraswamy Raja in Rajapalayam in July, the chief minister said the state government would invite who ever will be the prime minister then.

When All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam legislature party leader S Thamaraikani asserted that Vajpayee would remain prime minister for five years, Karunanidhi said if it was so his government would invite Vajpayee. But then his party (the AIADMK) should not object to the invitation, he added.

Kumaraswamy Raja, a freedom-fighter, was chief minister of the composite Madras Presidency and governor of Orissa.
