TamilNadu Election fiesta - 2006

The carnival has started and it has reached its peak in the southern state of India. The state's election history portrays it as always jubilant and talked across the country. The tale will never end and this time it is even more ironical and sarcastic.

The teams in the war are the ruling AIADMK and DMK - supported by the other parties and of course, by their own televisions. The contrasting news, humiliating election jargons along the streets and the unbelievable captivating election pronunciamentos are not minimum this time too. In fact, it is even higher than the earlier elections.

Free rice in PDS, free televisions, free gold, free computers, etc are really election fantasies. The whims and vagaries of the today’s politicians is under the limelight. The actual question - 'Is this mission possible?'

The politicians in the arena are ready to declare and give anything as it comes to their mind. Do they really estimate the welfare of the people? Do they think what is in treasury?

The hypothesis behind their election campaign is naked. These schemes are impossible though they claim as achievable. If at all they are going to inaugurate the schemes after coming to power, it won’t be a long lasting one.

For the sake of argument, assuming DMK is coming to power, the new government will have its own usual approach claiming that the AIADMK has left behind a void treasury. If AIADMK were resuming the power, these schemes will go to the trash as the other schemes.

'Has the DMK and ADMK chiefs sat vis-à-vis at the assembly table?' No. Not at all. Even the parties claiming themselves as the leaders of democracy have their mouths shut on this issue.

When we look at parties in the election fray its explicit that an alternative for the Kazhagams is the need of the hour. The Congress party, indeed has not learnt this. The party is digging its own yard in the state. Internal Quarrels and Congress are twins. The party has last its another opportunity.

MDMK - The party in wrong path. Is the talent leader leading to the ambush?

Communists - Theoretically honest and industrious but practically disabled. Their stands at the center and in other neighbouring states are really ambiguous.

PMK - The party claims itself as the one that often lives with the environment. Is this why they change their colors?

Vijayakanth's party an offspring.

Who is going to grab the CM seat? Will any party win the majority? If so which one is that? Will this be the last election for someone? Will Stalin/Maran become the CM? Will PMK/Congress join ADMK if the latter wins? Or will DMK and MDMK join together under the same banner?

TIME need to answer these questions...

Another important question.. Are you going to vote?.
Only you know the answer.:-)
