karthick, I don't think elections in india costs tax payers money. It actually boosts the economy because of the spending. And a lot of poor people gain money during this exercise. And also in TN, it brings the opposition to power which makes business people to think on corruption as the powers can alternate. So, it reduces corruption atleast on a miniscule scale.
But karunanidhi does not have the power to bring down the government.
