Ex-union minister D Napoleon quits DMK, joins BJP
Chennai, Dec 21 (IBNS): Former Union Minister and DMK leader D Napoleon on Sunday joined the Bharaiya Janata Party (BJP) in the presence of party president Amit Shah in Chennai.
The actor quit the DMK on Saturday.
In his letter to DMK president M Karunanidhi and General Secretary K Anbazhagan, Napoleon wrote, "I am resigning from the primary membership of the DMK which had groomed me from the age of 16. I have served the party for the past 35 years."
Napoleon was apparently sidelined in the DMK as he was reportedly acting in support of Karunanidhi's elder son MK Alagiri.
