PMK demands CMP in case of fractured verdict in TN Poll

Ruling out participation in a coalition ministry in case of a fractured verdict in the May 8 Tamil Nadu Assembly poll, the PMK, a constituent of the DMK-led Democratic Progressive Alliance, today demanded a Common Minimum Programme for the State on the lines of that of the UPA.
