Karunanidhi s political clout at the Centre
by S S on Aug 04, 2008 01:55 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

A few weeks ago, Tamil Nadu’s CM had put on hold the Hogenakal Scheme stating that it would be taken up only after the formation of the government in Karnataka.
Even after the formation of the government he is not in a hurry to press the issue. Now that the UPA Government has won the trust vote he has given a ‘go ahead’ for the continuation of the project without consulting Yeddyurappa. The Centre has all of a sudden come up with a view that Lord Rama had destroyed the bridge himself and that no religious sanctity needs be attached to the issue.
The speed with which the issue was taken up right after the trust vote speaks volumes about the clout wielded by Karunanidhi at the Centre even though he is heading a minority government. If every minority party takes advantage of the contribution made by them to win the trust vote, who will take care of States ruled by other parties? And where is democracy?

karunanidhi is indeed a supporter of minorities no doubt the other two graves in syria and italy are not tombs but memorials for st thomas. st. thomas died here in chennai and there is ample record in the history of tamil nadu. the arrival of missionaroes strengthend tamil literature amd language have you read about george iglow pope? u have a scientists name but you seem to be a mental wreck karunanidhi has many weak points but he is well balanced cm he has committed blunders he has also served the people well.hand rickshaws were replaced by pedalled ones, he reoved the shortage of baby food in tn he has given a sethusamydram project which will enrich the life of tamils ram sethu is a blown up version of hindutva did the bjp which sanctioned the project unser atalji's leadership utter a single word about ram seth then? please dont point a finger at christians ,luk at the great educational christian institutions come there to take a crash course to know better about a vibrant india.finally st thomas died in chennai read the tamil history well.
