Captain is a joker, now itself he is moving around with all his family members during political meetings and they have all been given vital posts in party. Moreover, he drinks beyond his capacity and comes to the stage. By chance if he becomes CM, first he will fall then the Govt. will fall. TN people can enjoy the clown show.
The heart-throb holds the key to Tamil Nadu politics The heading itself is a joke. He was never a big hero. He was one fo the n number of acters. Noone remebers, when his last movie was a hit. He might have actedd some 100 movies; but more than 90% of them were bombed.
Mr. Karunanidhi, the doyen corruption of DMK is Mr. Mubrak of Tamil Nadu and his fate and that of DMK would be the same as that of Mr. Mubrak of Egypt in the coming TN Assembly Election.
After Mr. Manmohan Singh's recent candid admission to the nation that governance suffers and takes a back seat due to coailtaion Compulsion will make the TN electorate think twice to have a Coailation TN Govt.
Hence, the smaller parties like PMK and DMDMK will not matter much in the next electoral show down in TN.

the problem is people in rural areas do not know the meaning of spectrum..they do not care about corruption at high level, they will still vote for corrput people like MK and MMS
TN is yet to find a good leader, I think after Mr.Kamaraj there is no true/geniuen leader, But unfortunately he was a congress man, In TN whether DMK Or AIDMK, Both are corrupt and JJ is not a saint, she is mother of corruptn.

Kamaraj was a good leader; But he has also done blunders. For example, at the time of state demarcation, he parted Idukki district to Kerala in lieu of Kanyakumari. Why Kanyakumari - becoz the district has lot of his community people. You know, Periyar Dam is in Idukki district which irrigates southern tamil nadu. His second mistake was supporting Indira, who later dumped him. He is not a saint. he belonsg to the period when congies were lnot knowing corruption. thats all.

Mr.Guru, Better keep mum rather than vocal in half baked truth. It was not idukki but Palakkad dist was attached to Kerala in lieu of kanyakumari dist.More over, Kamaraj never gifted palakkad dist.It was due to the relentless agitation of the people of KK dist., the said demarcation was done. Scores of Tamils were even shot dead by the then CM of Kerala, Pattam Thanu Pillai. Scores were dumbed.Scores had prematured death. All these happened because the Tamils were oppressed and suppressed by the notorious ruling parties of Kerala. The Tamils were treated as second class citizens in their own land perennially by them.All because, Kanyakumari dist. is the only surviving tip of the great Kumari kandam(continent) which linked Asia with Africa. It is believed to be the birth place of saint poet Thiruvalluvar and Tolkappiar. The Tamil people of this district are deeply attached to Tamil and Tamil culture. They will never cow down against any oppression. Now we, in this new generation thank countlessly to those martyrs. It's hard to digest KK dist. with that dusky, underdeveloped showcase Kerala. I still feel Kamarajar should have done the demarcation of districts bit earlier to save some precious lives.

Some things to know about Kamaraj and his rule.Remember it was in the 50s. 1)He decreed every locality with 1000 population should have a school paving way for widespread rural literacy in TN. 2)100s of checkdams were built to support irrigation. For a long time,Tanjore district was the ricebowl of India(no longer). 3)Industrial estates were established for the first time in India through SIPCOT. Hosur,Ambattur, Guindy, Kurichi are some of the estates established during 1950s. The concept of SEZs came in 2002. The foundation of auto ancillary, electrical and power utilities(BHEL, Neyveli lignite, Salem Steel) industries were established in TN leading to its spectacular growth post liberalization. 4)He introduced noon meal scheme utilizing American aid.This was developed into a full fledged scheme by MGR. 5)His cabinet had only 8 (eight)ministers in all.Venkataraman, who went on to become President of India was Industries minister. C.Subramaniam, the father of Green Revolution was education minister.His cabinet could go in a scorpio van compared to jumbo ministries(above 50) of today. 6)He studied only upto 3rd standard. Could speak some English and did not know Hindi. But he could challenge and debate with a well-read scholar like Rajaji, was CM for 2 terms and also was AICC president(Sonia Gandhi now) and presided over selection of 2 PMs(Shastri,Indira). 7)A freedom fighter, didnt marry and did not leave any property when he died. May Not be a saint,but not a devil.

If you want to say Karunanidhi is the best leader. Say so. Don't malign great leaders like Kamaraj by quoting half baked truths.
The congress and the DMK are partners in the loot and cannot afford to part ways, as any one party spilling the beans will mean the end of the other. Unless Jayalalitha digs her own grave (which she is capable of!!!) by being petty in striking a seat sharing arrangement with the DMDK, the polarization in Tamil Nadu politics should be on predictable lines. If DMDK and the AIDMK fail to reach a seat-sharing arrangement, it is certain that DMDK will seek an understanding with the congress, but outside the scope of its alliance with the DMK. I really do not how this going to be possible, but if Jayalalitha forces DMDK to a corner, it might result in the AIDMK getting wiped out in the forthcoming election.
TN election is most interesting, we are to see how people react after Rajas episode, what correction, we need in our democratic system.So far, all elections are fought on the basis of caste, creed, language and emotional blackmail, there is no SWARAJ.It suits to congress.

The article is a scrap. The real vote sharing in TN is : DMK 33%, ADMK 30%, Cong 12%, DMDK 10%, PMK 5%, MDMK 2%, Commies 3% and others 5%. Ther could be a change of 1 to 2% in election to election.
VKanth started his party after seeing that his movies started bombing. He hasn't started the party with any interest of doign something for TN. Otherwise, why he should object to taking some land of his function for a road project that after paying compensation at commercial rate. If he had any sense of doing public cause, he should have given the land volantarily. Second, all his vote bank (atleast 90%) is from telugu people. he has no more scope to increase thsi. He runs his party as family concern. His wife is the leader for womens wing and brother in law heads youth wing. He has no moral right to talk about family politics. Also, every one knew that he took huge some of money in 2009 for not aligning with Jaya.
In terms of development, DMK has done for better than any state during 2006-11. Jaya's rule was a mere waste of 10 years.
Finally, it is the alliance arithmatic that is going to decide the results.

Yes! DMK has done better (for Kalaignar Kudumbam)! Current TN deficit is Rs. 1,01,541 crore. Power Cut, Increasing Crime rates are order of the day. During the wasteful years, we had surplus power and better law and order.

Do not fool people.TN is only state is less percent than GsDP among big Indian State. Per captia income 39000 to 69000 with 4 years. Per captia deficit 16 000 Kerala but TN only 9000. DMK govt. done a lot of improvement in infra,job opprutnity,attracted many industries,etc.

Going by your own arithmetic, an alliance between the AIDMK and DMDK could pose problems for the congress-DMK alliance. Add to it the vote-share of the commies, MDMK etc. and the general anti-incumbency factor - the end result could be quite close. With the scams and price levels soaring, the AIDMK-DMDK alliance could well end-up being on the winning side.
TN is yet to find a good leader, I think after Mr.Kamaraj there is no true/geniuen leader, But unfortunately he was a congress man, In TN whether DMK Or AIDMK, Both are corrupt and JJ is not a saint, she is mother of corruptn.

Biased and racist media has been of great concern in India. In recent months, various scams have unearthed which have exposed TV journalists in India lobbying government for corporates and hurling abuses at citizens and media watchdog folks who questioned their motives. We did a case study on one such journalist Sagarika Ghose who is also deputy editor of CNN-IBN, CNN's sister channel in india. Google Sagarika Ghose Case Study for complete study and its first link.
