India, Jan. 12 -- Ruling out scope for a coalition government, senior DMK leader and state minister I Periyasamy on Sunday asserted that chief minister MK Stalin is firm on the stand against sharing power with allies. Speaking to reporters in Dindigul, Periyasamy, when asked on Tamil Nadu Congress's demand for share in power, he said it was the right of the grand old party to make that demand. However, the DMK had never been in favour of such a proposition. "...There will be no coalition government and the CM is firm on this stand," the minister said.P10
