Stalin gives up party post

DMK treasurer M.K. Stalin and son of party president M. Karunanidhi has given up his party post accepting moral responsibility for the party's election rout, a senior leader said.

Speaking to IANS on the condition of anonymity, the DMK leader said: "He (Stalin) has resigned from the post."

The move follows the DMK's washout in the Lok Sabha election in Tamil Nadu. Of the state's 39 seats, the ruling AIADMK bagged a whopping 37 and the BJP and PMK won one each.
