Unhappy with the party leadership for rejecting his request for a position for his son in the Vellore district unit in the party’s organisational polls, senior DMK leader Duraimurugan has offered to resign as deputy general secretary. However, the leadership has not accepted his offer, insiders say. br br This is the second time Mr. Duraimurugan’s efforts to get a position for his son, Kadir Ananth, have failed. In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, he wanted the party to field his son in Vellore. Initially, the leadership seemed interested in allotting the seat to him, and even told the ally, Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), that it could not get the constituency, which it had won previously. However, Mr. Ananth could not get it.
