Thread.

DMK was not keen on enjoying power at Centre until 1989 when they had a chance to get a berth in VP Singh’s Govt even though they had 0 MP’s in Lok Sabha
Karunanidhi knew that his brand of politics didn’t suit him to share power at Centre
But he made a conscious decision To transform the party’s outlook in 1996 when DMK was in a position to decide the PM’s name. Having tasted power at Centre from 1996-98 & with people throwing incumbents out in the state he decided that Lok Sabha polls are very important since it keeps them in power at Centre
