The two-day DMK Women's wing conference, aimed at expanding its support base ahead of the next Lok Sabha elections, kicked-off here on Saturday with women members of party Chief M Karunanidhi's family taking the centre stage for the first time.

The party, in a show of strength of its women power, took out an impressive rally, in which over 50,000 women from all over the state, clad in black and white sarees and churidhar, participated.

Karunanidhi, accompanied by his wife-Dayalu, 'life-partner' Rajathi, daughter Kanimozhi and grand daughter Kayalvizhi, witnessed the party flag being hoisted at a 85-feet high post, signalling the age of the DMK patriarch.
