The cadre gave a rousing reception to the their leader as he entered the hall. Karunanidhi cut a huge cake amid applause from party workers. Except for a 30-minute break, Karunanidhi was with partymen till 12.15 pm. For a while, Deputy Chief Minister M K Stalin turned into a full-fledged party worker. He was seen regulating the crowd and receiving dignitaries. The celebrations began early in the morning at Karunandhi’s CIT Colony residence. Dressed in new clothes, Karunanidhi and his wife Rajathi Ammal exchanged garlands. Later, at his Gopalapuram residence, Dayalu Ammal and Karunanidhi exchanged garlands. Later, Karunanidhi visited the Anna Memorial and paid homage to his political mentor and DMK founder C N Annadurai.
