The mother of all battles

The battle royale for Fort St. George is possibly the biggest and bitterest ever fought in Tamil Nadu (as far as bitterest is concerned, mybe even the world). The media, the coverage, the mercenary-campaigners, the sudden shift of loyalties ( to use a corporate managementspeak, HR turnover).
It is make or break for DMK dependent on octegenarian MuKa. Equally crucial for Amma. Vijaykanth seems to be an also-ran. However, there are no popular heirs to either Ayya or Amma.And no one is getting younger. The "go-it -alone' decision of Vijaykanth, apparently foolhardy, may be to lose the battle to win the war.

My fav. line this elections (atributed to Simran): No prizes for guessing loyalties.
Amma is Amma, Baaki ella Summa

results have come out in tamil nadu and its DMK Which is going to form government. only god should save the state now.The Results ere Not Expected,the Anti Incumbency Factor has again Worked for them.Till MGR was there It Was MGR factor. from this Election Two Things Emerge One is the freebies offered by DMK & The second was Government Employees Anger. As far as the general opinion today,apart from the above two factors, nothing could have gone wrong. it should have been easy for ADMK+ to mark a victory. also the strong coalition of DMK+ made a dent in ADMK Vote bank. Lets pray To GOD to save Tamilnadu
