this was the most third-grade form of vote bank politics. And worst was this - most shops (including tea kadais, potti kadais, pizza hut, etc) were shut, but the liquor shops were open. Its a known fact that most of the liquor shops are controlled by MLAs and DMK and Stalin in particular (which increased in number once Jayalalitha gave up her seat to Karunanidhi). Obviously, they don't want to even miss out even one day of their flourishing business. I understand that a days shut means atleast 15 crores of losses to the state's economy. Karunanidhi called for a Bandh, despite a Supreme Court ruling - but camouflaged it as a "state-wide peaceful protest and fasting", seeking a speedy implementation of the project, even while the matter is being handled by the court. Well, there are hundreds of such beneficial projects (like, a perambur flyover project for instance) which have been stalled for 5 years or more. Of what use is our enervating protests to speeden such projects ? ? ? Despite all this, we sit back frustrated and totally incapacitated to protest for justice and peace.

Jayalilitha gave up her seat?!? You idiot! You have any sense? You comment so much on the projects like, Perambu flyover etc., What that lady has done to the state during her regime? Except for doing resolving city's drinking water woes and maintaining better law and order, she hasn't done anything noteworthy. No bridges / flyovers / anything came up. There wasn't any growth. No new buses were bought. No roads laid. It looked as if there was no governance at all. Looking back at the history of TN, would reveal that TN prospered only during MK's regime. He has the nack of getting good cooperation from the centre and getting the state its due investments. The only sin he commited this time was, commenting on Lord Ram. HE MUST HAVE AVOIDED THAT, sure. He must have limited himself to commenting on Ram Sethu and not Ram. Would he have the guts to comment on the Gods of other religion? Had there been a dilapilated mosque or church in that place, would they dare to meddle with it? Hindu sentiments are always taken for granted. Worse, in flims. All the devotional song tunes were remade with cheap, crap, vulgar lyrics by b's who are also Hindus themselves. Would these b's have guts to do the same with other religions? Our comedian Vivek as if he's a genius himself would make mockery of our faith and beliefs. We'd simply laugh and won't mind the damage done. We've been tolerant to all this and got our senses back as someone wants to make a gain out of this issue. MK is still better.

Mk is better to empty the treasury of Tamil Nadu by giving free Colour TVs out of the tax payers money rather than improving chennai's roads or even the garbage clearance. Chennai is filled with filth of garbage for the last one mth. MK is better in declaring/classifying 88% of the Tamil nadu's population as SC/ST/BCs for vote bank politics. Then why should he continue as CM for merely keeping the 88% of the popopulation as "socially backward" soasto enable above classification. MK is better as an atheist of Hindu. Can he dare say that quron or Prophet mohommed is imaginary.
