What's the point having raid, when you inform party before hand? What a sham is Central Government?
Quote:"They were informed in advance about the raids," said a Chennai-based political analyst close to the party leadership. "But the DMK did not anticipate it will be so severe and get so close to the first family."
One of the organisations raided was the non-governmental Tamil Maiyyam, which has Kanimozhi on its board of directors.
"The raids have achieved two things," the source said. "The DMK has been humbled. Second, this batch of raids has inched that much more closer to Karunanidhi's family. They are one step away from the family. If the CBI implicates Rajathi Ammal (Kanimozhi's mother and Karunanidhi's third wife) in the scam, or even hints at anything like that, the DMK will pull out of the alliance, irrespective of the consequences."
