New Delhi, March 29 (IANS) The abbreviated names of Tamil Nadu's political parties can prove to be real tongue twisters for those living in other parts of India.
Even Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, a native of Kerala, was confused the other day while hearing pleas by three such parties seeking fixed symbols.
During the hearing, the chief justice was often heard saying MDMK when he meant DMDK! In fact, he even referred to it as DMK once. The lawyers present were left to correct the chief justice every time he named the DMDK wrongly.
Try it yourself - All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK), Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK).
