Chennai, Apr 4 (UNI) The BJP's, ''harping'' on the foreign origin issue of Congress President Sonia Gandhi will only ''boomerang'' as the people might think that they the ruling NDA had no administrative achievements to its credit, DMK President M Karunanidhi said today. 

He was reacting to Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's assertion yesterday that the foreign origin would be a major factor in the elections.

On Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa's statement that only an Indian should rule the country, Mr Karunanidhi shot back ''let this revolutionary leader read the famous lines of (revolutionary poet) Bharathidasan which says that only a Tamilian should become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.' (Ms Jayalalithaa's family belongs to Karnataka).

Earlier, Congress Jananayaka Peravai leader and Sivaganga candidate P Chidambaram, Congress candidates for Salem and Dindigul constituencies K V Thangkabalu and N S V Chithan, called on Mr Karunanidhi at his residence.

The DMK President said the candidates of alliance partners had invited him to campaign in their respective constituencies.
