VR Nedunchezhiyan immediately assumed as the CM. This was followed by talks with its representatives but no decision was taken on the issue as MGR met with a sudden death on December 24, 1987.

Its members blocked the transport movement for about a week in northern districts and ended with police crack down, killing 13 people in firings. In the next year, 1987, the State was rocked by Vanniyar Sangam protests seeking exclusive reservations. It remains even now a poll promise of DMK.
This was after his nominee, actress ‘Venniraadai’ Nirmala, could not become a member since she had declared insolvency.ĭMK had subsequently tried to revive the Legislative Council and could not till date. 1986 was also an eventful year for it was in that year MGR abolished the Legislative Council. His photo in the prison uniform leaked in newspapers and caused much outrage. In prison, he was given the white uniform for convicts in half trousers. Karunanidhi was sentenced to 10 weeks in jail. Citing the incident in which the DMK burnt copies of the section of the Constitution, 10 MLAs were disqualified by the Speaker. While MGR was not very vocal in his opposition, Karunanidhi and his partymen staged massive protests. It was also said that the Centre was insisting that all communications with it from the States should be in Hindi.
The new education policy envisaged setting up of Navodaya schools where Hindi will be one of the languages taught. For the DMK, the renewed attempt by the Congress to impose Hindi came handy to put MGR in check. He was instrumental in signing of India-Sri Lanka accord between the then PM Rajiv Gandhi and Lankan president JR Jayewardene, aimed at resolving the Lankan civil war. In this tenure as the CM, MGR managed to achieve a major victory in the Sri Lankan Tamils issue. Also, for DMK leader M Karunanidhi, this period proved that despite the party losing three elections, there could not even be a word raised against his leadership. It was J Jayalalithaa who compensated for the absence of MGR by extensively campaigning for the party and this also marked a milestone in her political career. The party had campaigned by placing corruption charges against the AIADMK and the massacre of Sikhs by Congressmen in the wake of Indira Gandhi’s assasination.
