DMK wary of leveraging Jayalalithaa conviction

DMK president M. Karunanidhi’s remark on Wednesday that AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa had given the Dravidian movement a new lease of life may mark the first attempt by the party to leverage her conviction in the disproportionate assets case.

However, with the 2G case gaining momentum in New Delhi, the party may be cautious in reacting to Ms. Jayalalithaa’s setback.

A senior functionary said an adverse verdict in the 2G case closer to the 2016 Assembly elections would make it difficult for the DMK to use Ms. Jayalalithaa’s conviction as a poll issue. Addressing district secretaries, Mr. Karunanidhi said Ms. Jayalalithaa had set out to destroy the movement which had nourished her. As everyone was wondering whether she could ever be stopped, she was convicted, giving an unintended fillip to the movement, he added.

The disproportionate wealth case should have been slapped on him long time back...Politics is not a bed of roses..There is no compassion for the enemy..If there is no vendetta then there is no politics in TN

Ganesh Ji,

Let us think like this. The next Assembly Election for Tamil Nadu is due in 2016. What if the 2G spectrum judgment is pronounced just before the Election? What will be political scenario of Tamil Nadu then?

I happened to take views of TN public...They are comparing JJ wealth with MuKa's....So JJ comes trumps up! There is lot of sympathy for Madam

Although I am not supporting her past actions, her later stint as CM twice has seen lots of good things for public. Hence the compassion for her is overflowing in Tamil Nadu. No doubt at all. It is like she totally uprooted her past negative actions.
After seeing the public's reaction, it looks like she has been given a pardon on her unwritten mercy plea.

While this cartoon summarizes the DMK's ruling in TN.........





MK is trying to leverage the situation to his advantage. But it is unlikely to come back because, Modi will ensure 2G scam gets up on top just before elections.
I think Kanimozhi & Co are already seeing this....hence started to object in their 2G case.

BJP is also trying to take leverage on this by getting Rajini on their side.
Amit Shah interested in making Rajinikant BJP's Tamil Nadu mascot

Rajini is no means a saint either as per comments in hindu paper that I saw when he said his daughter's technical wise a complete waste movie called Kochadaiyaan, as a gift to TN. He did not give for 'free'. Wanted to profit somehow. But it failed miserably!. Everybody has some inner agenda.

On the whole, hypocrisy at its best!!!!

Hence the question
How can a culprit find the other culprit wrong? What is public thinking of giving the sword to one culprit to deal with the other culprit. Hence the talk of dharma, law etc are beyond the reach of common sense. It is public's fault, altogether.

Marans tried several times to get PM Modi's appointment. Strongly rebuffed. PMO office, it appears, has a list of people who will not be entertained.

தமிழகத்தில், சட்டம் - ஒழுங்கு சீர்குலைந்து விட்டது.

Here is another dig by BJP to take over TN govt. Very sad!! Is this how one has to get to power?

I don't know which part of TN she is referring to, chennai and few places that I visited recently seems to be normal and no chaos.
Media also doesn't report anything unusual - i sort of trust hindu, indian express etc over Sun, Jaya, Captain, Vendhar channels etc. Because they are always biased.

It is a common word used by all political parties in all States. By mere Law and Order slogan, it is day dreaming to capture power and rule. BJP definitely knows its strength in TN. JJ's arrest makes some members turning wild to make unnecessary accusations against some parties.

the law and order got destroyed as long back as 1971 itself.

Yes. It could be the case. As things stand today, TN will be a loser. Inviting BJP would be worse than inviting Congress.

 

[sarang]

Where is bjp in this scenario? Party with largest seats only can claim or will be invited. Bjp or congress have to win. Even basic understanding of the govt formation process is missing here.

The present Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu has stated a couple of days back that Tamil Nadu was ‘Oasis of peace’.

majority of tamil electorate are not concerned about character of the contestants. all they want is 'dravida' in party name.

Indian Politics requires strong leadership; whether State or Central. Both Congress and BJP do not have a strong and powerful leader in TN. Hence, it is only a pipe dream to expect either Congress or BJP rules TN in the near future.

Of course, day dreaming has no restriction and limit.

May be if Rajinikanth decides to take the plunge & lead BJP, he has a remote chance..Also not sure if JJ sympathy wave can sustain for 2 years till the 2016 election unless she decides to go for early elections with OPS in the saddle?

Rajnikanth can lead AIADMK with guidance from JJ. Rajni has individual mass appeal, which can help in the long run.

Sir,

But will he reverently bow down like other Ministers do?

The question is not bowing or not bowing. The need of the hour is to take the party forward. Since Rajni has substantial mass appeal thru cinema, if he leads AIADMK, the party will sail smoothly and counter DMK and national parties in TN effectively. If JJ's conviction is not stayed by Supreme Court, this is the best alternative.

Ideally speaking JJ should groom a successor in his 30's/early 40's who can grow the party in the next decade or so and take over the mantle from her...Not sure if there is anyone fitting the bill

 

[Iyyarooraan]

Where is bjp in this scenario? Party with largest seats only can claim or will be invited. Bjp or congress have to win. Even basic understanding of the govt formation process is missing here.

Yes, there is no BJP now. If the governor is changed there will be one to start with. There are influential people there to support BJP but they are all moving in vacant room now. JJ's travail has just started. It looks like that at present nobody can help her. But Modi can condescend. Soon the weather pattern may, or not change. Thus BJP is only behind the screen. Posterity will reveal.

 

[sarang]

How will a new governor say appointed by bjp govt can ask tamilnadu bjp to form a govt when they do not have any decent representation? You are not rational here. If bJP can form ana alliance with all the parties and win against admk and dmk, then lotus will bloom.

There is a talk that Sasikala's Husband Natarajan will take over the AIADMK in case JJ's case is rejected in the Higher Courts and she is prevented from taking part in active Politics due to the verdict . Natarajan may not be a mass leader but he is very capable administrator and is well aware of the functioning of the Govt and the way politics is played at the National & Regional level .
