krishnaswamy,im sorry if my excitement got the better of me earlier. the dmk does not have any case of corruption pending in any court of law. there was never any loss of life in any movement organised by the dmk. people will point to the madurai episode,but it was not organised officially by the dmk. in a country where we have leaders who instigate riots and engagein corruption of thousands of crores,the dmk has an excellent record. jayalalitha has a record of a strong administrator. vijayakanth has a clean image. vote forwhoever u find will serve the state better. but credit has to be given to the dmk and its achievements,especially consistent espousal of the principles of social justice.
