கலைத்துறையில் 70 ஆண்டுகள்,
சட்டமன்றப் பணிகளில் வைர விழா,
கழகத் தலைவராய் பொன்விழா!

அதல பாதாளத்தில் தள்ளிய தோல்விகள் அத்தனையும் கடந்து,

இணையேதுமில்லா சாதனை புரிந்த தலைவர் @kalaignar89 அவர்களின் வழியில் என்றைக்கும் பயணிப்போம்!#பொன்விழாத்தலைவர்கலைஞர்

RECAP on Karunanidhi's 'Popularity' in Tamil Nadu: When Rajinikanth met Kalaignar After Entering Politics | DMK working president MK Stalin had said in January that Tamil Nadu was the cradle of the Dravidian movement, where there was no place for spiritual politics as enunciated by top star Rajinikanth. He made the remark just after the top star called on his father and DMK chief M Karunanidhi at his residence in Chennai, days after announcing his entry into politics. "Let me tell you this is the land of Periyar Anna (Dravidar Kazhagam founder EV Ramasamy Periyar) and Kalaignar (Karunanidhi)... such efforts in the past have ended in a fiasco." Announcing his political debut on December 31 last year, Rajinikanth batted for honesty in politics and good governance. He said "everything needs to be changed" and declared that "spiritual politics" needs to be ushered in, sans shades of any caste or religion with transparency.

Senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot also wishes good health for DMK chief Karunanidhi.

I wish good health n a long life to DMK chief, Sh. #Karunanidhi ji. May his health recover soon.

Karunanidhi  Known For His 'Tireless' Work | Hailing Karunanidhi for his 'tireless' work in steering the party for half a century, he listed the welfare initiatives launched by his father during his five terms as chief minister. Karunanidhi worked "without any respite" all his life, Stalin said, adding that "time has given some rest," a reference to his age-related health issues. The party was confident that "time and medical science," will fulfil the party workers' yearning to hear his 'magnetic' voice again, he said. Karunanidhi has been not keeping well since October 2016 and days ago he had underwent a procedure to change his tracheostomy tube, provided to help breathing. On Wednesday, Stalin had said Karunanidhi was suffering from fever and doctors were providing medication as he assured there was nothing to worry about his health.

Hospital Advises Restriction on Visitors | The hospital said considering his medical condition, the team has strongly advised restriction of visitors. Earlier, in a letter to party workers, Karunanidhi's son and DMK working president M K Stalin said, "Let us celebrate the golden jubilee of our leader assuming office as party chief." "Our beloved" leader shouldered the responsibility of heading the party as its president on July 27, 1969 after the death of DMK founder-leader C N Annadurai, Stalin said.

AIADMK Rushes to Karunanidhi's Residence | An All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) delegation led by Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam and actor-turned-politician called on him at his residence. Panneerselvam and his cabinet colleague D Jayakumar said Karunanidhi was "doing well." "Karunanidhi will return in good health soon," Jayakumar told reporters. Jayakumar said it was political decency for the ruling party to visit Karunanidhi's residence, adding that a DMK delegation visited the Apollo hospitals here when former chief minister J Jayalalithaa was undergoing treatment in 2016. The AIADMK delegation, which included ministers S P Velumani and P Thangamani, held discussions with Karunanidhi's son and working president M K Stalin. Senior DMK leaders, including Duraimurugan and TR Baalu, were present during the meeting.

DMK President M Karunanidhi's Health Declines | Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) president M Karunanidhi is facing a "slight decline" in his health, a hospital bulletin said on Thursday evening and he is being monitored and treated round-the-clock at his Gopalapuram house by a team of doctors and nursing professionals from the Kauvery Hospital. "There has been a slight decline in the health of DMK president M Karunanidhi due to age related ailments," a bulletin issued by Kauvery Hospital Executive Director Dr Aravindan Selvaraj said. The 94-year-old leader is currently being treated for fever due to urinary tract infection with intravenous antibiotics and fluids.
