Yeddy - Kannadiga Proud Moment

2018-05-16T20:20:00.001-07:00

*Yeddy - a proud moment for Kannadiga*

Many voices are heard and will be in the coming days on the burial of democracy in Karnataka by the elite journalists

One must brush that aside and get deeper to understand why the nature gave Yeddy a chance (he might be a CM for only one day and lose the floor test on Friday)

Whether you call newton third law or Dharma it’s the people’s wish to have the CM of *their choice* that has ended up in Yeddy becoming CM

During the run up to this election Rahul and Sonia were praising Siddharamiah for his five years rule and during the post election , they wanted a new face as CM. Clear way of *meddling with local wishes* - Congress is known for that and hasn’t learnt the lesson
Sid was becoming a YSR in Karnataka and Rahul didn’t want this

The same thing happened with Yeddy in the last election. BJP dumped him - he was the one who toiled to make BJP come to power In state for the first time - and lost terribly - ended up with forty seats

Modi and Amit Shah have to swallow the bitter pill and accept Yeddy. remember Modi participated in only one rally along with Yeddy

However the pride of Kannadiga has come back with their *own elected leader*

It might be a murder of democracy from one angle. It’s a birth of democracy in other angle. It’s time for National parties to oblige local leaders

CMs should be elected by the people, for the people and to the people! It has happened in Karnataka

Jai Hind !

Who will win in Tamil Nadu if elections were held today

2017-09-16T19:39:00.002-07:00

Karuna putting up good show in TN

If Elections were held today, the voters clear favorite is DMK. However, the landslide/washout might not be possible immediately as the DMK is yet to cross 50% of vote share

DMK - 43%
ADMK - 31 % (Yes still the votes are there)
Undecided - 10%
Others - 5%

Veteran Karunanidhi might not be in thick of action, but the 90+ year old politician still commands a strong following

Mohideen Khan vs Tamil Magan Hussain in Palayamkottai

This is going to be an election of David vs Goliath.. Mohideen Khan is a strong man from DMK repeated elected for decades from Palayamkottai. DMK feels he is a safe bet .

Tamilmagan Hussain on the other hand is a MGR loyalist to the core. He was a driver when MGR formed ADMK . He stopped the bus midway and ran to see the formation of ADMK

When he was thrown out of the party, he camped in MGR house for four days and got the audience of him . The only ask from Tamilmagan was to be part of MGR Mandram

The loyalist will face tough challenge but will be succeed

Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2016 - Predictions

2015-11-21T04:11:00.001-08:00

Tamil Nadu always throws surprises. Jayalalitha swept assembly and parliament elections

Usually the incumbent loses in assembly. Till date it was either DMK or ADMK for the last for decades

How about this time - there are four or five fronts

DMK

ADMK

NDA led by BJP

UPA led by congress

PWF - a mix of MDMK, Communists and Dalit party - VCK

Vijayakanth DMDK

Though many are expecting the alliance to be formed to predict, we strongly feel it would be a hung assembly

There is a strong anti-incumbency wave mainly due to the following

TASMAC - the government promoted liquor shop menace

Price rise

Uneven development

Non performing legislators and council

The benefit, however, doesn't go to DmK as people are looking Karunanidhi as a weak CM

Who will be next CM of Tamil Nadu?

Tamil Nadu BJP allies with Vijaykanth's DMDK and Ramadoss's PMK against its Cadres wishes

BJP Cadres Sulk in Silence after their leaders ally with Vijayakanth and Ramadoss

There is a huge resentment among the cadres of the Tamil Nadu BJP after the State leaders stitched together an alliance with Vijayakanth and Ramadoss

Vijayakanth and Ramadoss never came together and vehemently oppose each other.

BJP Cadres become a laughing stock as their wishes to go alone were turned down by their leaders. Now they have to hand their heads down for the actions of Ramadoss and Vijayakanth

The cadres have requested Sushma Swaraj and Ravishankar Prasad to relook at the alliance in the best interests of the party. Its to be noted that Sushma has already expressed her displeasure for B Sri Ramulu's party's (BSR Congress) merger

Which Alliance / Party will win in Tamil Nadu Loksabha Elections 2014 / Aam Admi Tamil Nadu Party Effect in 2014 elections

Tamil Nadu Loksabha 2014 Elections - Predictions

The National Media is predicting more than half of the 39 seats in Tamil Nadu for AIADMK. But there is a strong undercurrent against TN CM Jayalalithaa amongst women voters

There were many places in Tamil Nadu where local women were up against government for setting up liquor shops in the area.

DMK is the normal alternative for TN Voters. The Party however has lost confidence in itself and banking on a strong alliance, which might come true if people vote on Party basis

BJP and Congress doesn't have a party vote bank in Tamil Nadu and heavily depend on their PM Candidates Rahul and Narendra Modi respectively

The educated class is now moving away towards AAP, which might not win any seat but can spoil the chances of BJP/AIADMK in some constituencies

Whoever wins TN and AP would play a bigger role in formation of the next Government

Can Kushboo (Nakhat Khan) Succeed Karunanidhi for DMK's Top Post ?

2013-11-22T23:34:00.000-08:00

Women Groups and Minority Groups Support Kushboo to Lead DMK ?

A great party always goes for a sudden change. Remember Sarah Palin leading the Presidential race for Republicans.Women have given surprises in the past

This time the surprise might come from Nakhat Khan - the forty five year old woman popularly called as Kushboo who has hogged the limelight for being the dark-horse to lead the party

DMK - A Sinking Ship

DMK, has failed to enthuse voters after 2004. For the last ten years the party is struggling to survive. The leaders have become sycophants and are not popular with the people

Nakhat Khan can fill the gap between the voters and the party

Republican Sarah Palin (USA)

Nakhat Khan - the Caring Mother and A Leader of DMK

Nakhat Khan moved to Chennai (then called Madras) when she was 16. At 17 she debuted in a Tamil film (Dharmathin Thalaivan) as Kushbhoo and from there she never looked behind She is married to director Sundar and with two girls Avanthika and Ananditha . Her popularity chart was on the rise in televison too.

Kushboo is now in Congress and closely worked with Rahul Gandhi to form alliance with DMK

She might also be the deputy CM if Karuna doesn't get enough seat

Kushboo and Karuna are seen together on multiple occasions
