Strange how this people who rallied and danced for their right to be entertained by chasing bulls, today have nothing to say about Tamil pride while accepting Rs 4000 to sell their votes!

the rally was orchestrated by tn politicians to divert the people from jayas death probe and sasikalas wrong doings
looks like a proper hatchet job. alluding to all kinds of actions that can be taken including dismissal of a government which has the support of the majority of the MLAs though it was not the aim of the people who elected them. In such situation hatchet jobs like these are done as kite flying to test the waters. Think if the government is dismissed on a flimsy ground of trying to manipulate an election through cash, then what about MCD election where there are enough videos about trying to bribe voters. Journalistic ethics should be maintained and it should not be a HMV recorded statement. By repeatedly echoing that the government should be dismissed and CBI should initiate cases and also alluding that courts should force the matter based on a paper ( we dont know the authenticity or whether it was planted- as it has expenditure on dr. Balaji in an election related expenditure. and 5 lacs is nothing for these people and wouldnt have maintained a statement of account- This smells of a proper hatchet job by we know who)journos who peddle such news and views are pushing the people towards social media generated news as both look the same. Dismissal of the present government would definitely hurt the false pride of tamils which is at its peak now and might have the reverse effect. Should leave the government to fall on its own with full honours so that we dont see the likes of them again
This is not the right decision. The people involved on behalf of the candidate should be punished and a new leader should be fielded after denying the contest for the present candidate. Or the Party itself should be de barred in the present Constituency election alone and election must go ahead on the same date announced or after two days after aloowing and accepting filing of the New candidate nomination, as the case may be. Election commissions money spent all ready should not be wasted, in the present trend where the Govt is thinking if savi g money by conducting both the MLA and MP elections together for saving Public Money.
the common man is struggling to have a hand for cash with ATMs dry and Banks not willing to give cash. where did these guys get so much money. Cash is less only for the common man and not for politicians . Double standards

One thing is sure that all political parties do the same thing but some get caught and some not. In India if Gandhiji or Subash Chandra bose or even Bhagat singh stands for election they will lose until they dont bribe the voters. So its a waste of public money to conduct elections. Also why will they keep byelection if a sitting MLA or MP changes party or gets change of portfolio. Instead the person who had stood second should be declared elected or that assembly or constituency should go under CM or PM.
