A political controversy that hogged headlines in the early 80s over allegation against Karunanidhi

The then Local Administration Minister P. Kolandiavelu had alleged that the DMK president and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, M. Karunanidhi, had purchased 100 acres of land in the name of his son, M.K. Alagiri, at Muthudevanpatti near Theni, but the Speaker held that he failed to substantiate his charges.
