Hauma,
In, TN DMK and DK had the covert support of C.Rajagopalachari (my relatives who were associated with him vouched for that, when they were alive). According to them Rajaji had a hatred of another congress ace Sathyamoorthy, whose protege was Kamaraj and hence Rajaji supported the DMK covertly. He was partially responsible for the demise of Congress in TN and the rise of DMK. Incidently EVR was seen crying (in his wheel chair) during the final rites of Rajaji and MK even made fun of him. According to my grandfather, EVR often looked up to Rajaji for advice, on a lot of issues.
