Mr.Rajesh: Lot of people, including some experts, Naval Chief etc. have been talking about the financial non-viability and security aspects of the project. The general consensus is that the Government should not go ahead with the project, not because of Lord Ram, but because of various other factors. Hence, the question to be asked is: Why is Karunanidhi and Baalu so hell bent on the project being implemented? May be because Jayalalitha, their enemy no.1, is opposed to it in the present alignment. Or may be because BJP and so many other Hindu organizations are opposed to it because of Lord Rama's association with the under water bridge. Karunanidhi, who, as is well known, is selectively atheist, rationalist and what not, will always oppose anything to do with Hindus and Brahmins. Naturally, he identifies this as Hindu opposition and Lord Rama as Brahmin God. He has to oppose by all means and implement it. You want to provoke Karunanidhi? Just say `Brahmin' in front of him and see his reaction. Recently when he changed the Tamil New Year Day to satisfy whose whim only God knows, he quipped, `only Brahmins will oppose it'. What more can you say about a Chief Minister who is obnoxious about his hatred for Brahminism and Hinduism that he sees no wrong in destroying the very culture of the Tamil Nadu, nay the country, to prove his Dravidian superiority. He does not believe in God, but still God give him long years to achieve his goal!
