Chennai Dec 30 (IANS) DMK leader M.K.Stalin on Saturday charged Tamil Nadu s ruling AIADMK with functioning like a "branch" of the BJP in the state.

According to the DMK leader following the defeat of AIADMK candidate in the recent Radhakrishnan Nagar by-election many ministers have started criticising the hidden alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Stalin said when the AIADMK does not object Governor Banwarilal Purohit s review meetings at various districts how can it be believed that the ruling party does not have any alliance with BJP.
