Being a North Indian, I have always admired the kind of discipline and respect of law that our South India brothers and sisters have.
I always used to think that widows of criminals get to position of power in our beloved Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, but seeing this happen in Tamil Nadu which has made widow of a criminal a Union Minister, I am feeling glad that there is no difference between North India and South India when it comes to politics.

I think Karunanidhi is the man behind making this gangster wife a minister... I think to get into politics, u have to be a Gangster, or his/her spouse...
WOW, i like that statement.Its unfortunate lot of people did not study hindi. Karuna strongly support hindi now.this crook will have a long life coz he will be considered dangerous to enter even hell
Nominating a housewife, who is not at all familiar with politics or our Indian Parliamentary System to the post of a Union Minister - this is the mercy of Karunidhi towards the terrorists. The only qualification she is having is that she is the wife of a notorious third rate criminal. If we go to the history of all Union Ministers from TN, we will find similar stories. That is democracy.

Thank you rediff for glorifying a murderer's wife. Let us make the wives/husbands of all murderer's in Tihar Jail cabinet ministers. This DMK joke is a minister?

Lot people in indian politics are either wifes or sons or daughters of Murderers,in every party icluding Congress,BJP,communists,SP,BSP,DMK,Shvisena,Telgudesam etc etc. We are responsible for electing such leaders.it is negative point Democracy which was questioned By Socrates and poisoned death by Greeks.

Hey Mr. you meant Mr Antony as the womenish minister. Please note that in India there is no leader equivalent to him who is not at all corrupted and having a clean image through his life. You must have seen only politicians like Lalu, Mayawati, Mulayam, and other leaders who earn money through politics. Standing against corruption is womenish for you. Very pathetic of you man.

How dare you say Karunanidhi had (only) two wives? What would his other wives think!?!

rightly said.no good govrenance.offer caste reservation and bribe to voters,tv, cycle,sara,dhoti etc.what is going in tamilnadu.dmk,only revange politics,no accoutability for upliftment of poor tamilians.yes these politicians became richer & richer.
she was elected by people. one shouldnt forget that.north india or south india people are same. so the electorates. instead of wasting time to know more about her husband why not rediff write something on her achievement or plans for her constituency?
