The resolution, passed in the presence of Moily, said ‘‘the people’s mandate’’ was clearly for a DPA government, headed by Karunanidhi and expressed the hope that the matter would be taken up with Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
The DPA won 163 seats in the May 8 election. But barring the Congress, the other DPA constituents, including the PMK, the CPI and CPI (M) have made clear their intention to extend outside support. Karunanidhi is expected to take a decision on the matter soon after the end of this Assembly session by mid-June.
