It is high time that the people of Tamil Nadu stop looking for big time solutions from the political parties and their leaders. Both the major parties are built on the popularity of individual leaders (for non-progressive reasons) and not on a movement to uplift the awareness of the people.
TN is blessed with rich resources and talents in a number of fields. One thing it is lacking in, however, is the ability of its present political leaders to develop a broad vision for the State. There is no dearth of such visionaries in the Private Sector. But there is insufficient effort on the part of the politicos to exploit this resource to build a modern State, which is home for world-class industries and technology, first-class academic institutions and superb medical facilities.
Should there be a re-education and realignment of the political units in the State in order to achieve the change in thinking? You bet it does. My own belief is that Jayalalithaa can bring about that change much more effectively than others.
