The least he could do is not praise Amma; there is nothing in doing so, at least he must not do so as the editor of a magazine. That's all.<br />In the final analysis, Kalaignar and Amma are not too different. Had it not been for the 2G scam, DMK may have remained in power. AIADMK came to power only because of the DMK's mistakes, not due to their achievements...Rajagopalan Venkataramanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111496249968137876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328418666596302675.post-22047129126929320782012-03-01T22:54:41.891-08:002012-03-01T22:54:41.891-08:00Just to add..

Also, I would like to add that there is no politician in India at today's age who is very clean. Not to forget the way she handled the Transport employees strike during the last tenure. That is why we have a Supreme court ruling today that the government employees can never get into the strike during the working hours. Also, about the alliance with Vijayakanth, please have a look at his action in assembly on that day. I hope you can differentiate a movie trailer. I doubt the confidence of people having a fourth front under his leadership.<br />Coming back to Cho, he has got his own views on every issue. I would say better wait and watch. If you have seen the whole set of videos i vaguely remember somewhere he says - to repair the damage made by the earlier government, it will take around 10 years. Also, in the earlier readers day too he has talked about so many things. On the whole i see he wants a system which is agile, less corrupt and a service oriented government. Since i write the above dont think that i'm a fan of amma.. I still try to keep myself updated with TN politics.Shivas Royalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529933362318503255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328418666596302675.post-71109814681824699852012-03-01T05:16:59.480-08:002012-03-01T05:16:59.480-08:00And yes, I would definitely want to read Karnad’s ...And yes, I would definitely want to read Karnad’s Thuglak tooRajagopalan Venkataramanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111496249968137876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328418666596302675.post-84768712150432500872012-03-01T05:10:37.477-08:002012-03-01T05:10:37.477-08:00Thanks for the comment:) I ain't too sure abou...Thanks for the comment:) I ain't too sure about it, dude... IMO, having a personal political affiliation isn't wrong, but as the editor of a magazine, it doesn't work well. that's allRajagopalan Venkataramanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111496249968137876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328418666596302675.post-26210750083226596962012-03-01T02:29:41.628-08:002012-03-01T02:29:41.628-08:00Girish Karnad's Tuglak is also an interesting ...Girish Karnad's Tuglak is also an interesting read. About transgression in general, when you have done journalism for long and there isn't much left in it, its a good idea to transgress the fine line and do something better, don't you think?JPKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09588415230294426805noreply@blogger.com
