If there is an AIADMK-BJP alliance in the future, BJP must demand 20-25% of the seats to be offered to them. If AIADMK does not agree, BJP should simply contest alone and build up their own vote bank. They can wait for two more decades. No hurry.
I still remember the nasty 'Go Back Modi' campaigns DMK unleashed.
Stalin, Udhayanidhi and Kanimozhi will have to apologise for the same. Publicly.
Not to Modi. But to each one of us.
With the kind of support Annamalai is getting, BJP should not bother with AIADMK any more. Even if it helps DMK for the next 2-3 elections, BJP should lead and gather like-minded parties around itself. If PMK will not respect BJP, they should also be ignored.
Kamal: If BJP is elected again, capital will move from Delhi to Nagpur.

What is at stake in this election:
1. For so long, our country simply got used to politicians in power amassing wealth. For the last 10 years, we have a Prime Minister who not even opponents can accuse of personal corruption. Likewise with all his cabinet colleagues.

Very brisk crowd in my booth. Never seen such a crowd and enthusiasm, that too for a parliamentary poll. In that booth alone, by about 8.45 am, I estimate 20% votes polled. There may be a surprise in the result.
Spending my time in Sri Rangam well, trying to understand the temple management here and how HR&CE is corrupt to the core. I expect to learn more and write a series of articles, possibly a book, and will get involved in fighting HR&CE along with others.

Tamil Nadu indeed is one of the most corrupt states in India. Probably, it is number one in corruption. Annamalai is correct. He should not succumb to pressure and retract his words.

DMK's latest friend Ramasubramanian in Thanthi TV reeled out a list of colleges in the US who have done away with SAT or ACT. These exams are eligibility tests and not single point entrance tests. SAT/ACT scores are also taken into account but not solely. (1)
What Rangaraj Pandey and his media entity Chanakyaa have done is truly amazing. Completely bootstrapped venture, after he left Thanthi TV, he has put together a YouTube only 24x7 Tamil News Channel. Growth of his company is really heartening! Best wishes to him and Chanakyaa.

To claim that Maridhas has connection with "anti-national" forces is nothing but joke. You may not agree with his politics and arguments. But to come with such silly, trumped up charges is pathetic.
