Karunanidhi passed away in a Chennai hospital on Tuesday.

He passed away at 6-10 pm, Kauvery Hospital in Chennai where he was admitted, confirmed.

During Karunanidhi's political life in the last few decades, his formidable opposition was AIADMK's J Jayalalithaa, who passed away in late 2016.

Karunanidhi's political career was not free of controversies as several corruption charges were levelled against him and his party and family members, many of whom joined politics.

His son M K Stalin is his political successor.
