He transformed the Tamil cinema in a way that no one envisioned at that time. RIP.

தமிழ் திரைப்பட வரலாற்றில் பாரதிராஜாவுக்கு தனி இடம் உண்டு. 16 வயதி���ிலே & முதல் மரியாதை முத்திரைப் படங்கள். முதல் மரியாதை வடிவுக்கரசி character legendary. He wore his heart on his sleeve. #பாரதிராஜா

[(Washington DC) Suresh Kalyanaraman @DCSureshAnalyst]

If this happens, will @PrashantKishor also join them ?
Will
Makes it more interesting ? Is @INCIndia listening ?

[Sumanth Raman @sumanthraman]

Merging with the Congress would give @MamataOfficial the ability to fight in Bengal and also an opportunity for a potentially larger role across the country. For the Congress they will be getting a street fighter with a big base that they desperately need. Should be a win win for both but the lady is known to be mercurial. Let's wait and see.

[T.N. Raghu @ TNR @tnrags]

As Tamil Nadu BJP chief, @annamalai_k had complete freedom. How many young leaders did he groom?

[(Washington DC) Suresh Kalyanaraman @DCSureshAnalyst]

I told you Mr. @tnrags sir. This is modern politics and even communists are not immune from these charges.

[T.N. Raghu @ TNR @tnrags]

Comrade Vijayan has a lot to answer for. @pinarayivijayan

[(Washington DC) Suresh Kalyanaraman @DCSureshAnalyst]

What is more important is “who are all the regional heavyweights that are missing “ ?
BJD
YSRCP
TRS
DMK

Moreover, can @INCIndia win seats in MP, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Chattisgarh, Uttarakhand, Goa, Bihar, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh ?

If they cannot win close to 170 seats, INDIA bloc cannot capture power.

Do not use terms like “brain dead”. You do not know anything about me. Do not suck up to Cho as though he was a great person. I know more about Cho’s eccentricities and diabolical personal choices than you could ever imagine. I will stoop down to your level to call people brain dead. Maintain some decorum in this forum.

[S. Ranganathan @rangats]

You must be brain dead to compare cho with Vaiko . Vaiko is a politician. Cho was a nationalist. Yes he has supported dmk , admk both . But he did what was good for tn . His only logic was to chose who will be good for tn . No other reason.

[(Washington DC) Suresh Kalyanaraman @DCSureshAnalyst]

Cho supported Mr. Karunanidhi too against madam Jayalalitha in 1996 and before that he had even spoken against Mr. MGR rule as well.
So, Cho is not a saint when it comes to politics. He changes his views just like Vaiko.
We all know what he tried to do with the liquor company when he was the director.

[S. Ranganathan @rangats]

If Cho was alive he would have supported @annamalai_k unconditionally

[(Washington DC) Suresh Kalyanaraman @DCSureshAnalyst]

No chance that Seeman will play second fiddle to anyone. He has his party for a different reason other than winning.

[AwakeHindu (Top gun Pollster) @vyasa1968]

Tamilnadu politics. High possibilty of NTK merging into Annamalai new party.

[(Washington DC) Suresh Kalyanaraman @DCSureshAnalyst]

It looks like in TN, it is “start a people’s movement” time. I wonder why others have not jumped into the bandwagon yet ????

Look what all a 108 seats victory to @TVKOffice has done to TN. Now everyone is a @actorvijay @CMOTamilnadu !!!

Do you think lightning would strike at the same GPS location twice ?

Well. That was what I was saying after 2024 LS results. They contested more seats than 2019 LS and so got more vote percentage. But at that time, people were saying it is because of him.
@sreeramjvc

[JVC Sreeram (Bulls Eye) @sreeramjvc]

Annamalai had been a great face for BJP. He lifted BJP in the state. But what the media forgets to inform is:

🪷In 1984 BJP supported Independent candidate had won.
🪷In 1996 BJP candidate won from Padmanabhapuram without an alliance.
🪷In 2014 two NDA candidates won.

When you contest in more seats the vote share would be more. I wish Annamalai all the success. But truth needs to be told.

[(Washington DC) Suresh Kalyanaraman @DCSureshAnalyst]

I feel that it should be public sir as long as the names are not released which is the case here. People like us would like to dwell into electoral analytics only with these kind of data. It would also provide us keen insights into where caste or religious based consolidation or counter consolidation is still in vogue or not (some people, mostly from parties, know the composition of votes on every booth).

I wonder whether booth wise data should be put out in public domain because they could be used to target people who didn’t vote for a particular candidate.

[(Washington DC) Suresh Kalyanaraman @DCSureshAnalyst]

This is now new sir. This has been the case for the past few years. That is why it is difficult to find replacements for good developers these days if someone leaves your organization.

[Sumanth Raman @sumanthraman]

Interviewed a candidate for a techie opening yesterday. CTC for the candidate with 4 years experience in current company is 7.2 LPA. Asked what the expectation was.
Candidate says 16 lakh. I said that's more than double current CTC. Candidate says yes that's what I want. Conversation ended soon after.
Increasingly feeling out of touch with today's generation.

[(Washington DC) Suresh Kalyanaraman @DCSureshAnalyst]

Highly unlikely. You are sounding more like Nakkeran Prakash now.
No credibility in what you are saying these days.

I will admit I was wrong if this DMK-BJP alliance happens. But will you admit if it does not happen ?

மாறும் அரசியல் களம்.

[(Washington DC) Suresh Kalyanaraman @DCSureshAnalyst]

Please do not over emphasize some of the statements made by leaders who make them just to energize their cadres. No leader can assert with utmost belief and confidence that their will party survive for so and so years.
Madam Jayalalitha also proclaimed that they had 1.5 crore party workers and members. But the election results did not provide any evidence for that even during her tenure.
So, please take all this as just statements made to please and nothing else.

நான் இறந்த பிறக்கும் 100 ஆண்டுகள் இந்த இயக்கம் இருக்கும் என்று சூளுரைத்தார் செல்வி ஜெயலலிதா.

எடப்பாடி அவர்களே உங்களை 5 ஆண்டுகாலம் மிகத்தீவிரமாக ஆதரித்து, அதன் காரணமாக பல சிறைவாசம் அனுபவித்த @SavukkuOfficial கீழ்கண்ட கருத்தை தெரிவித்திருக்கிறார். இதைத்தான் நானும் முன்பே தெரிவித்திருந்தேன் “பாஷ்யம் அபினேஷ் வீட்டில்” நீங்கள் உதயநிதியை சிந்தித்தீர்களா இல்லையா? அது தான் இன்று பலர் கட்சியில் இருந்து வெளியேற காரணம். அப்படி நடக்கவில்லை என்றால் நீங்கள் ஏன் சி.வி.சண்முகம் போன்று சத்தியம் செய்ய மறுக்கிறீர்கள்.

"27 ஆகஸ்ட் 1996 அன்று, அதிமுகவின் மிக மோசமான தோல்விக்கு பிறகு, ��ெல்வி ஜெயலலிதா எழுதிய கடிதம் இது.

இந்த தோல்விக்கு நான் தான் பொறுப்பு. “ஒரு குடும்பம் மோசமான ஆட்சிக்கு காரணம்” என்று அதிமுகவின் தொண்டர்கள் கூறியதில் உண்மை உள்ளது என்பதை நான் ஏற்றுக் கொள்கிறேன். அந்த குடும்பத்தை ஒதுக்கி வைக்கிறேன் என்று செல்வி எழுதிய கடிதம்தான் இது.

30 ஆண்டுகள் கழித்து, அவர் எழுத கடிதம் செல்வி ஜெயலலிதாவின் ஆளுமையையும், தலைமை பண்பையும், பெருந்தன்மையையும் ந��க்கு உணர்த்துகிறது.

2026 சட்டப்பேரவை தேர்தலில், மிக மோசமான தோல்வியை எம்ஜிஆர் மற்றும் செல்வி ஜெயலலிதா உருவாக்கிய அதிமுக சந்தித்திருக்கிறது. இந்த தோல்விக்கு யார் பொறுப்பு என்று அதிமுக தொண்டர்கள் கேள்வி எழுப்புகிறார்கள்.

என்னைத் தவிர எல்லாரும் பொறுப்பு என்கிறார் “புரட்சித் தமிழர்” எடப்பாடி பழனிச்சாமி.

தன் மகன் மிதுன் துணை முதல்வர் ஆக வேண்டும் என்பதற்காக, திமுகவோடு கூட்டணி சேர்ந்து ஆட்சி அமைக்கலாம் என்று எடப்பாடி பழனிச்சாமி உதயநிதியை “பாஷ்யம் அபினேஷ் வீட்டில்” சந்தித்ததை மறுக்க அவரால் முடியுமா ? இந்த ��ந்திப்பு நடந்ததே அவர் மகன் மிதுன் அழுத்தத்தால்தான் என்பதை எடப்பாடி பழனிசாமி மறுப்பாரா ?

இன்று மக்கள் முன் எழும் கேள்வி, 2 கோடி தொண்டர்களை கொண்ட அதிமுக இயக்கத்தை வழிநடத்த எடப்பாடி பழனிச்சாமி தகுதியானவரா என்பது மட்டுமே.

முடிவு அதிமுக தொண்டர்கள் கையில்"

Kamarajar is right. Everyone is the same when it comes to politics. There is no such thing as pure and evil in politics.

[JVC Sreeram (Bulls Eye) @sreeramjvc]

When mandates are fractured these kind of things happen.

Politics is never Pure. The problem is these people said they would do Pure Politics but they are now doing Practical & Pragmatic Politics which is fine.

I didn’t condemn it when it happened at Karnataka & Madhya Pradesh & hence I would not condemn it now.

But at the same time the Tag of doing Pure Politics is erased from @TVKVijayHQ for eternity.

There is nothing wrong with that too.

Let’s see what unfolds.

[(Washington DC) Suresh Kalyanaraman @DCSureshAnalyst]

With the latest news, it is looking like that even though I do not want to underestimate the strength of this even diluted @AIADMKOfficial

[Badri Seshadri @bseshadri]

Nice summary. With ADMK getting heavily weakened now as a party, Kongu will move more towards TVK. North TN strength came from PMK's partnership. That is also under tremendous strain now, given ADMK's current condition.

If an election is held today, both TVK and DMK will increase their vote share substantially and will add 20 more seats each, leaving AIADMK to single digit. Tamil Nadu will be bipolar. ADMK replaced by TVK.
