Azhagiri met all and all met azhagiri seeking his support! But his man, Rithish left him and joined ADMK! But no hue and cry for that from Azhagiri camp. This looks strange.<br /><br />Rithish stood by Azhagiri along with Napolean when Azhagiri was suspended from DMK recently. While many chose to be on the side of Stalin, Rithish stood by Azhagiri. That shows some close bond and understanding between them. Such being the case, why did he join ADMK? Why not even murmurs were raised by Azhagiri for what Rithish did. For the kind of situation that Azhagiri finds himself in, it is expected that he must be seething with anger against Rithish for deserting him. And there is no benefit or reason for Rithish to move over to ADMK at this juncture. All these seem to tell a different story.<br /><br />The absence of any fuss over this shows that without the blessings of Azhagiri, Rithish had not defected to ADMK. Why then he defected? Was it to assure a signal to JJ that Azhagiri would split DMK votes in favor of ADMK so that DMK under Stalin fares very badly. Remember Azhagiri keeps telling that DMK is going to finish 3rd in the elections. If he does that (drubbing DMK), will JJ help him develop into a force or alternative to Stalin DMK. As long as MK is alive, I dont think Azhagiri would split the party. But once MK is gone he would split DMK and there will be Stalin DMK and Azahgiri DMK. Has JJ been approached by Azahagiri to help him in this route. There are of course reports that azhagiri wanted to meet JJ twice but turned down. Perhaps JJ did not want to invite new headaches now before elections, for MK would be furious if Azhagiri sided with JJ at this time. Perhaps the defection of Rithish was a signal to JJ that Azhagiri would comply by the unwritten understanding that he would make his supporters vote for her in this elections, in return for which she would tacitly support his rise with his faction in Madurai.

I tell you Ms Sheela, there is real hidden work going against Modi's ascent to power. Once after it is made sure that BJP is going to be the single largest party, work is being done to make sure that the tally falls short of simple majority. This is aimed at stopping Modi to claim PM post. That is why I am saying that Modi had been ill-advised by some to meet Rajini and accuse JJ which in his own mind, I dont think, Modi would have done. Why should they work against Modi is a question for which I have answers, but dont want to say until results are out. It is an open secret among many people in the know of things and even the media people.<br /><br />Today Modi has no friend from any regional party of stature. Unnecessarily he had spoiled the equation with JJ. All that he can have is the seats in Hindi belt where BJP and Congress are face to face with each other. Heavy polarization of Muslims against BJP is happening in the until now conducted elections. Muslims are doing tactical voting. <br /><br />We in TN also must do tactical voting to keep off DMK. Love for Modi would harm TN, please remember that. Somehow BJP led or BJP backed govt would be formed in the centre. But don't throw mud on our heads in TN. Which ever govt comes in the centre, JJ would join it. She must be in commanding position in that set up if we have to get benefits for TN. <br /><br />In TN, the opinion polls are a farce as we saw a different result in Exit polls in the assembly elections which was opposite of what people actually voted. The people for whom the elections matter (ADMK or DMK) would not speak out their mind but show in the ballot box. Even as I was writing my comments yesterday, JJ had spoken same thing in South chennai. She opened her speech with a declaration that she did not speak on caste, religion or such things but only on issues through out the campaign. That is a well noted point by many sections of people but not reported in the press. The Tauheet Muslims and others have pledged their support to her so also many groups in the last couple of days.<br /><br />Notable is the visit of Pujaris sanga to meet JJ at her residence yesterday. This sanga has 35 to 50 lakh members who are pujaris of all the village temples in TN. This sanga is promoted by none other than VHP, presided over by Togadia! Me Sheela, you are thinking very casually of Togadia's ranting and the TV news. The silently happening thing in TN is that VHP that has control over all temples of TN through the Pujaris is not supporting BJP and its alliance partners TN. They have pledged their support to JJ. <br /><br />Two reasons for it. (1) Hindu temples and issues around Hindu temples are safe under JJ. If JJ is weakened, all the work that is going on to revive Hindus, Hindu temples and Hinduism in TN are going to be affected. (2) Togadia - Modi who were best buddies once, parted when Modi aspired for national ambitions. Read today's TOI to know the background. You may trust Modi, but many insiders do not trust Modi but think something different of him. <br /><br />Let me remind you a basic reality. India's problems can not be solved by a single man or in a few years. Modi is projecting himself as a single man govt! Of course Modi is a sincere person and we believe him. At the same time he does not have solutions to many problems. As far as TN is concerned, he did not even assure anything on electricity or on cavery issue. Only the TN govt has to do them - of course with a friendly central govt. Any govt under any one that is to come in the centre would heed to TN's hopes and demands only if JJ has numbers. Look at our home before looking at Indian scenario.

ADMK vote bank is solid at 32% or above 30%. Lot of paid news doing rounds. Modi was careful all along but has rubbed on the wrong side with JJ and on Muslim issues of late. <br /><br />Togadia, Giriraj, Bhagawad and Naqvi's comments reported today and yesterday are shocking but follow a trend by which sudden hype in anti muslim mood is whipped up. When Modi had been carefully projecting the idea of good Governance, where from this polarization cropped up. Would this not stiffen the stance of muslims at this nth hour? I get a feeling that Modi's rise is being arrested at this last hour by those within BJP & RSS itself. <br /><br />Prabhu Chawla and mark Tully must be listened. They see a Muslim polarisation against Modi. Added to this is the prospect of AAP emerging as the bet for Muslims and capable of hurting BJP in 50 seats atleast. Things look difficult make 272 for BJP. <br /><br />Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-20345780617263901172014-04-21T21:02:09.981+05:302014-04-21T21:02:09.981+05:30Dear Madam,

We see scores of construction workers – particularly women – taking a Tiffin box with rice cooked the previous night for work. This eatery is a boon to them all. We coolly say ‘thani manithanukku unavillai enil jagaththinai azhitthiduvOm’ – but do nothing to anyone to fill their stomach. As per Hindu way of life each family must feed atleast one stranger before taking their meal. We don’t do it. Many of us who do it, give food for an exchange of some work. In Tamil Sangam litt we read about Pasi-p-piNi marutthuvan Pannan who was praised by a king in that song. Such mentality helped to eradicate hunger in those days. We, people also have a responsibility to society and as such we must feed at least one person a day without expectation. In the absence of this culture, amma eatery is a boon. <br /><br />You said <br />// All said and done, JJ is much better than MK...but then MK is at a low...its like comparing a person who score a ZERO(MK) and another one who score TWENTY...and that will be audacious.//<br /><br />This mentality is wrong. You don’t want to show mercy to Rajiv killers who were in jail for 23 years. But want to go soft on MK who spoiled the mentality of 3 generations of people besides spoiling many traditions of our culture and ushered in the culture of corruption. Assess yourself for how much of thinking capacity you are endowed with (no offense please). <br /><br />On reservation, I quoted earlier on the recruitment policy for new hospital. People are not yet ready to move on. I am personally in the know of many ills happening in govt institutes due to ill-fitting people who have come to occupy high positions due to reservation policy. It is a menace for all of India.Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-58029296915475028692014-04-21T18:58:36.646+05:302014-04-21T18:58:36.646+05:30Rain water harvesting:

Lot of maraamath works are also happening. On agriculture, water sources, irrigation – JJ is doing whatever can be done. If you are blaming her, you are ill-informed.<br /><br />Rajiv killers:- <br />You can read my opinion here:- http://vijayvaani.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?aid=3117 Today even judiciary thinks that after a certain long years in jail, if there is good behaviour, they can be released. On Dharmic side (for which readers come to my blog to know my views), no one is permanently condemned for an offense. If so, there is no meaning in prayers, in seeking pariharas and prayaschitthas from our paapam. Even God is known to pardon sinners who have suffered in retribution and reformed. If we are to suffer for our sins wholesome, our lives would be very unbearable. It is by prayers, good conduct and repentance we are leading better lives – even though we are not aware of it.<br /><br />Whether Rajiv killers expressed remorse or not:- <br />I think you are not aware of their role in the conspiracy, the court charges and subsequent bungling in the case of Perarivalan. <br /><br />On SL issue, JJ was dead against LTTE – which is 100% justified. But once LTTE is no longer there, she started giving voice for SL Tamils. <br /><br />On electricity:- <br />What a phenomenal problem it was when she took over! How can it be solved entirely in 3 years? I think you are following the details of what she did and the status of power generating units. She is not doing nothing as MK. Even if Modi is in her place he could have only what she has done. One difference with Gujarat is that Modi is not offering free electricity, but in TN nearly 30% of the consumption is given free. When something is free, people tend to over use it. Free electricity was started before JJ. Once something was given free, it is not possible to withdraw it. People’s and political parties’ cooperation must be there. Another thing, electricity charges in TN are lower than in Gujarat and many other states. <br /><br />When Modi said in the last before previous election in Gujarat that he will not give free electricity but give 24 x 7 electricity, no opposition party opposed it or instigated the people against it. Would any opposition party do so in TN if JJ makes a similar announcement? If we do away with free electricity, we also can have 24X 7 electric supply.<br /><br />You wrote about blaming others. There is nearly 25% support base for DMK in TN which is intact. It was reported that it is possible that if someone (from them or congress loyalist) working in the generating units wants to stall production, he can just add a bucket of water in a particular unit to stop production which will take a month resume. This was reported in newspapers. The nature of problems in some units point out to such sabotage, it is told by engineers. <br /><br />Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-76878617658682204182014-04-21T18:58:09.750+05:302014-04-21T18:58:09.750+05:30Tasmac:-

But MGR had no option but to bring liquor trade under govt control. Even then the liquor lobby and cartelisation was powerful and it grew up as a moneyed mafia. On the other side Illicit liquor was thriving to cater to poor people. I very well remember those days when a family in Dharmapuri died after consuming illicit liquor. The pathos was such that mothers fed illicit liquor to babies to beat hunger. They all died. In the early 2000s I myself came across a couple of businessmen who wanted to get into liquor trade, approaching me for astrological counsel. I advised them not to go for it. I am saying this here to drive home the point how liquor trade was growing in a pace as to engulf entire State. <br /><br /> In that scenario, to arrest indiscriminate growth of liquor trade, liquor mafia and fleecing of people, JJ stopped retailing by private people and brought it under govt control. That is how the present Tasmac was born. Making profit out of it was not the purpose of the govt when it was started. But the number of outlets proliferated in MK’s period such that the shops were set up near schools and temples and at every bus stop. It was MK who used the Tasmac money to pay for the freebies. The freebie culture started by him could not be stopped in the next term (present) and it won’t go over to next term as there is nothing to offer!! Freebie has reached the saturation and Tasmac money would find other uses in future. <br /><br />Only if awareness level increases in liquor consumption, Tasmac growth can be reduced. There is always the danger of illicit liquor coming in and liquor barons growing up if the Govt closes Tasmac. Without check on these two, it is not possible to close it once for all. They can be reduced and are getting reduced now. There is a court order too not to have them on highways. Like this the number of outlets must be reduced while taking care that no one resorts to illicit distillery. This is the background. Who owns the distilleries is something which no one can isolate someone to blame. <br /><br />Freebies:- <br />Tell me who will resist the temptation to take up the freebie. I didn’t take it. But I didn’t see anyone not taking it. Why even well off people took the TV? Its all in man’s greediness. Basic human nature even among educated class is such that. Then we can’t blame the poor for whom it is something worthy. But once MK exists, things like this will largely be out of place. <br /><br />If JJ had not given the list of freebies, MK would have taken up some and garnered votes. It was a necessary evil that JJ had to do. In the previous election she didn’t do it. But even now she is going in a measured pace in distribution. But I have one thing to say. I do see poor people really benefited by the things. I myself have helped two poor families by paying for the education of their daughters. I could see how their lifestyle improved with the freebies. In their families the mothers had to toil at work and at home. One of them is working in a garden and another as a sweeper in panchayat. For the kind of physical work they do, the freebies are definitely a boon. It is up to us, others, who can afford those items not to claim them. One can do if they choose to. If JJ makes any conditions on freebie distribution, hell will break loose on her, insinuated by Mk and other politicians. <br /><br />Looting natural resources: <br />You see, we are going by new reports. There are conflicting reports on all these issues including Sagayam too. But JJ of the current times, is above personal goals. There is absolutely no need for her amass wealth by dubious means. <br /><br />Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-76983380166686551362014-04-21T17:13:28.153+05:302014-04-21T17:13:28.153+05:301)Strong-will: She has an iron-grip on her party a...1)Strong-will: She has an iron-grip on her party and never takes non-sense in the thing which is close to her heart<br />2) Focus & EGO: In politics you have to be focused and hard-nosed at the same time...she is definitely has a plus on this<br />3) Knowledge: She has got an excellent knowledge on many things<br /><br />Apart from this, many people would criticize her for the following:-<br /><br />Handling Electricity problem: In this issue i will not blame JJ entirely. MK bungled on this and JJ is trying her best to resolve this issue. But then she is lagging behind in solving this issue. Blaming others and alleging conspiracy theories show her in poor light. That's not the right way.<br />Price rise & corruption: I would not agree on this. Price rise can never be controlled only by an State government alone. Price rise can only be moderated it can never be stopped. Even a super-human can't control price rise. Nor can anyone stop corruption. It can only be contained. I will NOT fault JJ on this.<br /><br />All said and done, JJ is much better than MK...but then MK is at a low...its like comparing a person who score a ZERO(MK) and another one who score TWENTY...and that will be audacious. I want a better Government which focuses on developing infrastructure, agriculture, education, health sector and encouraging people to stand on their own by appropriate policy measures. Actually reservation is necessary only to people who deserve it. And it can't be given perpetually. You have to use a carrot and stick approach. You can't correct a wrong with a wrong.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499035844707096957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-35444585490244534922014-04-21T17:04:27.492+05:302014-04-21T17:04:27.492+05:30Okay...now coming to JJ's follies:-
1) TASMAC....Okay...now coming to JJ's follies:-<br />1) TASMAC. I know liquor can't be eradicated in one day...but then it can be reduced and brought under control over a period of time. In my area (which is residential) they opened a new outlet a few months ago. Everyday i can see hundreds queueing up from the morning. People who are drunk lie flat in nearby places and make a nuisance. I know liquor was started by MK...but then IF JJ is iron-willed person, she can definitely make a start by reducing the outlets and the timings. I know she can't reduce or abolish Liqour with Distilleries being run by MIDAS (the ironic part is that whether DMK or ADMK in power, the distilleries are controlled by DMK & ADMK people. Irrespective of the party in power, they get the contract!!!)<br />2) Freebies. In this case too, freebies can be given only to down-trodden and poor people only. Now its distributed to everyone of them, which is huge drain on exchequer. Even freebies can be given in a productive way rather giving useless things.<br />3) Looting of Natural resource. Well...sand mafia is an issue and there is only one contractor who controls the sand for all the state. They took some step on the Granite looting but then it was exposed by Sagayam and since it got exposed, they could not cover it up...but i can see that the initial enthusiasm has waned away...and there is not much happening on this<br />4) Failure to follow-up Rain water harvesting. Ground-water depletion and agriculture being affected. I would like to say that from my personal experience and my colleague who still undertakes agriculture that nothing has improved. I know that some efforts are taken by mostly individuals who pursue organic farming...but then it remains only a private initiative.<br />5) Pardoning Rajiv Gandhi killers and setting them free. I did not think this is right move, the issue is here, Supreme court has not ruled that they are innocent. It only reduced the sentence on technical grounds. JJ has been doing flip-flop of Srilankan Tamil issues. In 2009 she justified the War by Srilanka. Actually that's right move. LTTE is a fascist organization and it has to be destroyed. No doubt on that. Srilankan Tamil and LTTE issue has to be dealt differently. But i feel sad that JJ has sought to free the Rajiv Gandhi killers by mixing up the issue. You may argue that its on humanitarian grounds/or politics, but then remember that people who died with Rajiv Gandhi on that fateful day are also innocents. What is the justice for them?? Have the killers of Rajiv expressed their remorse for their act?? They have been saying from the beginning that they are innocent!!!<br />I'm just giving some main follies..and not all of them...and in the same way i would like to say her strength also:-<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499035844707096957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-47770744391535423762014-04-21T16:38:47.284+05:302014-04-21T16:38:47.284+05:30Dear Ms Sheela,

I have consciously mentioned TN BJP in my comments. Even JJ did not bother about it. But as a tall leader Modi must have been guarded in his actions and speech.<br /><br />My grouse as I have written in comments above is that he has given in to filmi influence which TN has suffered too long and needs to shrug itself out of it. Principled stand is what Modi signifies. He must not give room for that. <br /><br />To tell you the fact none in BJP or RSS approved of that. It was La Ganesan's idea which he expressed beforehand in Thuglak interview. When we are talking about Modi wave, Modi goes to seek star power of Rajini. The glaring result of that hurried visit to Chennai to meet Rajini was that the hurriedly arranged meeting at Meenakbakkam where Modi spoke had only 3000 people in the crowd. That is the Modi wave in TN. Leaders know and Jurnos know, but poor readers don't know as it was not reported except in TOI. <br /><br />Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-67233889933644562112014-04-21T16:27:11.189+05:302014-04-21T16:27:11.189+05:30@ Mr Jeyahar

By your own logic on Vijaykantha et al aspiring for CM, if Modi can aspire to be a PM why not JJ?<br /><br />You said<br />//If JJ has put Nation's / TN's interest above her own personal ambitions then she would have chosen to side with BJP.//<br /><br />Tell me what interest of the nation or TN did JJ put behind or sacrificed to ape for herself to be PM? <br /><br />All heshyam.<br /><br /><br />Well, let me tell you one thing. I have the BJP propaganda material for La Ganesan. Hope you would have had it if you are in a place where BJP stands. Just check it out what they had written as achievements of Modi. You dont even have to compare with TN scenario, because the so- called achievements are too obvious to be nowhere with what TN had achieved. I am sure JJ or some ADMK people would have gotten this material, but JJ would have addvised them not to make an issue out of it. <br /><br />Until now JJ has not made any wrong move or wrong speech. She is the only leader in the country who had not made any direct or indirect appeal for vote on caste or religion basis. This was glaringly seen in her campaign in Triplicane day before. Anyone in her place could have been tempted to talk appeasingly to Muslims who are 30% of the electorate there and who congregated in large numbers in that campaign. She did not talk anything for muslims there which was well noted by the muslim residents themselves. Tell me is this not the right way to take on the country forward? Name one leader who had not spoken on caste or communal lines.<br /><br />Those calculations are of course there in choosing the candidates for all parties. But JJ had kept up the campaign above all these things until now. <br /><br />She has been guarded in her response to BJP all along. Even when the Tauheed faction of muslims left her and offered their support to MK on the pretext that JJ had not spoken anything on BJP, she did not speak against BJP. She did not even stop them. But only after Modi tweeted that he was going to meet rajini that evening, she took up the kavery issue in the meeting that evening shortly before Modi met Rajini. Modi had vitiated the atmosphere unnecessarily and mindlessly. I strongly doubt that he had been advised so by vested interests to drive a wedge between him and JJ. <br /><br />See today Advani too aired the same opinions on Kavery water issue and fishermen issue. But it was guarded and not directed at JJ.<br /><br />Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-58969563742654199582014-04-21T16:21:14.637+05:302014-04-21T16:21:14.637+05:30Dear Mam,

TN badly needs a change in political thinking & local leaders broaden their vision for good of country. <br /><br />Modi has a liking to reach across people/personalities anywhere. meeting Rajini or Vijay (as he met few Bollywood & Tollywood stars)is also a part of strategy. <br /><br />Sheela<br /><br />Sheelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058145061281478167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-49760263153528831122014-04-21T15:59:42.618+05:302014-04-21T15:59:42.618+05:30Hi..i will reply later...Yes, i know the guys who ...Hi..i will reply later...Yes, i know the guys who run such institutions, actually there are two of them (not 1 as mentioned by you)...One is SRM Pachamuthu who is contesting from Peramabalur and another one is A.C Shanmugam who is contesting from Vellore....Yes...i'm against both of them....No doubt about that....But i feel, JJ could have aligned with BJP if she wanted to secure TN's right....but then her personal ambitions took precedent over National / TN's priorities. She thought she had a chance of becoming the PM...rather than aligning with BJP....For me this is a war akin Ramayana....and Modi has to win just to keep away the corrupt congress (and Italian Mafia) away from Power. And like Ram of Ramayana who gave Vibishana his blessings though he was from the Evil dynasty of Ravan....Modi has no other choice but to pardon(i.e align) with Vaiko/VJ/Ramadoss to defeat the congress, since JJ was aiming for the PM gaddi on her own....If JJ wanted to secure TN's right, then she could have struck an alliance with BJP and swept the elections and could have got more benefits for TN,,,why she has not done the same?? Well...there is nothing wrong in JJ aspiring to be PM...but then the chances are bleak...and it would be laughable that BJP (or Congress) which are bigger parties with more stakes in all the states have to support a small regional leader....I think India can't afford another Deve Gowda/Gujaral types again....I know you would be arguing what's wrong in a small player like JJ in aspiring for PM post...nothing wrong with that....if that argument is taken at face value, then what's wrong in VJ / Vaiko / Ramadoss aspiring for the CM's post?? If the previous argument holds true then the second argument also holds true....No think in this way....If JJ has put Nation's / TN's interest above her own personal ambitions then she would have chosen to side with BJP...but then she has not done that...so a person who can't even sacrifice her personal ambition and how can a person like me can trust her....?? You may say its politics...but then think of everybody doing like this i.e common man....then what will happen....One has to put nation before self....and JJ has failed in this...so how can one support her?? After all BJP would have been too happy to get 5 or 6 seats from JJ and settle for an alliance....then who turned them away??

There is nothing to gain for ADMK by aligning with TN BJP. JJ chose to go it alone because she sensed that BJP is not going to get a simple majority. If in that scenario, she is aligned with BJP, it would be a handicap. So she thought it is better to keep equi distance from Congress and BJP. As such today she is the only regional leader with no baggage to carry. That would give her acceptance in any govt that is formed in the centre.<br /><br />But she chose not to criticize BJP until Modi made wrong moves and wrong talks. I wonder whether he was led to do that so that it would make JJ to keep off, if Modi was to be PM. In that scenario Sushma or Advani or Jaitley would get better chances to project themselves as PM candidates acceptable to JJ. <br /><br />Btw, do you think that BJP is going to cross the 272 mark? Or BJP and RSS leaders are not doing over work to keep off Modi in Govt formation???

Presently Solar water heater is a must in building plan approval. Those who put lakhs of rupees on house, can put a few thousands on solar heater. It all depends on how the people also cooperate. <br /><br />For anything, there is a limit. Some time better sense must be pushed through. Such a thing happened in reservation sector. JJ ushered in 69% reservation but tactfully avoided reservation in the recruitment of doctors for the new hospital (converted from MK's assembly). If that hospital has to be on par with AIIMS, it must have the best and meritorious doctors. She is hiring them on contract basis where reservation can not be applied. MK had taken it to court. But it was only she who had the guts and even capability to bring out things like this for the larger good. At the basic level reservation had benefited many people. But it can not go on higher levels. If getting a chance she would even do away with creamy layer. She has exhibited clear understanding of the difficulties and needs and struck a balance between them. <br /><br />I agree with you Mr Jeyahar that you are certainly brainwashed as you are not aware of the stats or even the status in agriculture under JJ. If you take time to browse my blog, you will come across a series on 'rainfall prediction' through astrology. It was read by professors from some leading colleges in TN and passed on to the officials in govt. I was told that since JJ is keen on promoting indigenous methods of agriculture and irrigation without damaging the land, ecology etc, my series may be studied and assessed whether it is possible to check its veracity as college project work throughout TN. Mr Jeyahar, truly you dont know what is happening within. <br /><br />I have lot of sources and people from all walks of life coming to me for counsel. I get the information from them. One of it is that JJ does not tolerate men who make their family and womenfolk suffer. I am sure you are aware of why Sengottaiyan was removed. She is in the know of family background and what the family thinks of the people in crucial govt posts and does adequate of care of the family when an adverse decision had to be taken on the govt servant. All this is unpublicized, but many journalists know. They wont talk about it as most of them are Tejpal-types only. They all hate JJ because they can not get away with a misdemeanor. That is why you are reading all hate-write ups on her.

Spell out the follies of JJ and don'...@ Jeyahar<br /><br />Spell out the follies of JJ and don't divert. <br /><br />No one supports the freebies, not even JJ if left on her own. She did it to check MK.<br /><br />One think I tell you. Talk to the poor, go to their house, know their aspirations, You will know how these freebies are liked by them. They see others enjoying gadgets and themselves struggling in poverty. These freebies have come as a great leveler between the haves and have nots. I would say that we, who can afford must excuse ourselves from taking the freebies. I didn't take the colour TV freebie and gave in writing that I am not taking it. Let people like us refuse these freebies which are basically meant for the poor who can not afford. <br /><br />On kavery water, certainly BJP wont do anything as they have stakes in Karnataka. In that context only JJ would stick to TN's benefit. She has proven that and people have understood it.<br /><br />In 1967 a greater chunk of people including Rajaji believed DMK. But today the so-called educated people need to think better. <br /><br />At the national level, I do support Modi. But at TN level only JJ must be given the numbers. Make an assessment of what would happen if JJ is weakened. If she is weakened, Thamizh naatai Modiyaalum kaappatra mudiyaathu.

Tasmac:-
...Coming to the points you have written:<br /><br />Tasmac:- <br />The first culprit is MK. Once the liquor started flowing, it is not easy to control it. No party even BJP would control it. The data in the current poll scenario is that one peg, money (Rs 100 to 300) and chicken biriyani are the deals per person to attend the poll meeting of leaders. On the day of a meeting in a particular place, the tasmac sales shoot up high. The reason is obvious. A survey was done by TOI noting down the increase in sales in tasmac in and around the area of the venue of meeting. Do you know who leads the list? It is Modi’s meeting in vandalur, the first meeting he spoke for this polls. The increase was 5 crore rupees on that day in Tasmacs in and around Vandalur. The next slots are occupied by – you know very well- Vijayakanth’s meeting venues. Then comes Anbumani. JJ comes last with just 11 or 16 lakhs increase. One reason for this low in JJ’s meeting could be that more women attend the meeting than men! Now tell me who are using or misusing Tasmac? <br /><br />Freebies:- <br />Here also, MK was the first culprit. When JJ was almost comfortable in coming back, MK announced free TV and was seconded by Chidambaram and the results turned topsy turvy. This was unbelievable at that time. But JJ realised the potential of DMK in using this, and she did not leave out anything to be used by MK in the next (last) elections. Hers was a sequel and not original. If only DMK had made any worthy freebie, he would have stolen the results from her. So blame MK, blame the people before training your guns on JJ. But then JJ was clever in converting many of them as productive capital. Cattle and goats are really a good investment as we could see immediate surge in quality of aavin milk and aavin profits after that. That is a very good economic recycling. For your information the USA gives many free allowances from birth to death. Even college students have to pay heavy amounts as part of their tuition fees to pay for old age pension scheme of the American Govt. <br /><br />JJ is not a Rajaji or Kamaraj. But a Rajaji could not control MK when he opened the liquor in the State. JJ had been the only leader after MGR, capable of stopping MK. As long as MK is there, JJ must be there to stop him, or else the State would suffer. VJ had no qualms in joining hands with MK. Even BJP would go to him just for the sake of power. <br /><br />Today the core constituency is well aware of who is who and who is to be strengthened. The more they hear about surge of BJP or DMK, the more resolved they are in keeping them out. They say that throughout TN, this would happen. They may not tell this if someone asks. The initial reaction is that they vote for DMK! That is because of the fear of dada-giri. They would not tell so easily unless they trust you. <br /><br />Even TOI carries out a survey of the people who attend the meetings. During poll times, it is busy time for them all. Money + booze + biriyani is the remuneration they get. No discrimination in doing this work (attending meetings) among political parties. Nowadays they expect Mutton biriyani instead of chicken biriyani as it is costly and therefore not affordable by them. They are ready to attend any meeting and shout slogans. But ask them to whom they would vote. They have their own choices – not influenced by the meetings they attend. They have already made up their choices on sound logic which you and I cannot think from what we read from the computer. <br /><br />Before closing, I want to comment on your comment on – JJ’s follies. Tell me what her follies are. Check whether those follies are really follies that would affect the welfare of the people or the State. <br /><br /><br />Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-66652677959055571152014-04-19T17:08:27.281+05:302014-04-19T17:08:27.281+05:30JJ in power means 2 main things to them which we a...JJ in power means 2 main things to them which we are not at all bothered about. They are (1) police that does not harass but is easy to approach and quick to respond to their problems and (2) End to rowdyism. If JJ is weakened, these two would go averse which would affect their life from all sides. In the last term of DMK these two adversely affected even the middle class people. Even earlier too the lower and middle class were aware of the dangers of DMK and efficacy of JJ in checking DMK. But they were confused then by the kind of justification that you are giving now ( no dravidian party but go for a third alternative). That is why last time, DMK was able to form a govt, though a minority one. For a decade now, JJ has proved to be a vital check against the issues that affect the lives of these people. So they won’t mistakes any longer now.<br /><br />Every time an Opinion poll says, that JJ would get less and DMK would get some, their resolve increases that they must stop the surge of DMK. That is happening now in TN. I have my sources at the ground level and I myself keep enquiring with this core bloc. <br /><br />In this scenario, what does Modi offer? I was asked this question? If these people vote him by voting to Vijaykanth or Vaiko or even a well known BJP leader like La. Ganesan, can they assure them what they now enjoy under JJ. What is the guarantee that Modi / BJP would not ally with DMK and offer berths to Dayanaidhi Maran or Balu? An auto driver asked me this. Past history is like that. Murasoli maran was made a minister by Vajpayee. It is from Maran, the DMK kept growing in fine-tuning corruption, which was ultimately followed by Congees in UPA 1 and 2. By now aligning with fit-to-discarded parties, BJP had shown its prowess and readiness in aligning with DMK if it needs. But ADMK is the only party that would not align with DMK at any time!!! <br /><br />Can you believe in BJP after seeing it holding hands with VJ after all his running after DMK + Congress and all talks of suitcases? Do you think people simply forget all these tamasha and believe that VJ is sanitised after having aligned with BJP? May be you and others believe that VJ, Vaiko are great after joining hands with BJP. We are padiccha muttal (educated fools). But they (core voters) are unlettered wise people. Only educated fools could bring out an outcome as was seen in Delhi assembly polls. <br /><br />Few of them I chatted with said a salient point. They said today they may be toiling in the street to make a living. But their daughters are getting education. (Generally the people I talked to, talk high about their Daughters – something you can see in TN and not even in Gujarat as I find this as a sign of better treatment of females – something Modi fared very badly in his personal life. The male-female sex ratio is above the national average in TN.) The girls read everything and tell them who says what. (May be boys don’t read newspapers / magazines and don’t bother to discuss with parents). You say Modi wave - Modi wave. They asked so what? What do they get by voting him in this poll when they are already getting what they want from JJ. They are not for upsetting the present peace or trying new options. JJ has sent clear signals in every speech on what she can give. The confidence that she has given was not given by any other leader in TN.<br /><br />(continued)Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.com
