Dyanidi Maran is doing more damage to himself and his reputation by abstaining from next Tuesday's crucial votings. He may attract disqualification for disobeying the party whip.He may in the bargain be expelled from the party. The prestige is at stake for DMK and any deviation from the official stand would attrack the wrath of the top leadership. Dayanidhi Maran what he is today was only due to his association with DMK. He got MP seat in the young age and also became the youngest Minster with important portfolio. This was due to the magnanimity shown by Karunanidhi to him.He should not forget this. He may have personal problems and grievances with his grandpa, but that should not alter his stand towards the party that has elected him to the coveted post. Besides, the number game is crucial and even a single vote would be crucial to decide the fate of the Govt. In this contex it is advisable to Maran to toe the official line and air his grievance with his grandpa Karuna in different forum. If he no regard for him, he should quit the party and resign from the Parliament uholding the highest tradition of parliamentary democracy. One cannot have a cake and eat it too. In the end, it would be impossible for UPA to win the Trust Vote as it is still short by 15 votes.The independent and other splinter groups may support depending upon the inducement they receive for such support.These groups may also cause headache for PM in future with their constant threat and demand.Be careful.
