@muralewrites DKS most probably architected the whole dam issue a few months ago as his counter when the former CM rejected power transfer. He got what he wanted now, but he may not be able to unwind this immediately.
@VamsiChandran@SureshDMK19 It will be a very interesting experiment if DMK stands alone in 2029 without any allies. Why are you dissuading them from it? Let them do it.
@vandavaalam_ Bjp-rss don't have any clue of TN politics. You guys should start thinking about the role of dmk in TN politics without thinking about bjp-rss. Else, sunset for sunrise party. https://t.co/IV4IapNmM4
@arcot2arctic Cs-Ms-சுக்கு தூக்கத்துல கூட bjp-கிலி தான். அதனால எதையுமே conspiracy angle-ல தான் பார்ப்பாங்க. இவங்களுக்காகவே அரசியல் பண்ணி காணாம போகப்போறது திமுக தான். அதிமுக பொழைச்சுக்கும்.
@VamsiChandran DMK looks like a redundant force in TN after JV's success. Being in alliance with cong from 2004, except brief gap in 2014-15, the whole DMK propaganda system is taken over by C-M & DK mindset. Sunrise party may slowly move towards its sunset in coming years.
@indhavaainko Trying to shave off the color that got stuck on him from previous affiliation is understandable. But I hope he won't be naive enough to think he will get their votes.

@Pranesh_Balaaji But rahul has already decided to align with TVK for 2029, hasn't he? TVK has cong in alliance to protest these things. Let them do it.
@vidurneetiX It means just as last time, the principal opposition this time also may utilize the anti-govt sentiment created by the protests to come back to power?? What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
@The_Tradesman1@aravind I still recall cong bank a/c frozen & kejriwal arrested just before 2024 elections - seemed needlessly risky political moves. I thought NM-AS are either too smart or incredibly stupid. Those moves provided credence to opp's 'constitution change' campaign & almost toppled NM.
@The_Tradesman1@aravind The highly synthetic nature of cjp online following is probably why AS & his ministry assessed this would fizzle out. There were almost correct until the sudden surge on a day last week. Shrewd folks trying act too smart habitually might sometimes end up acting incredibly stupid.
@The_Tradesman1@aravind The other economical explanation is gross misjudgment or incompetence; if the home ministry had thought the protests would fizzle out exposing cjp and ruled out any sudden surge in numbers. If not for the sudden surge last week, the protests would've evaporated.
@aravind@Pradeep_90088@annamalai_k The vote base of bjp in TN is already low, so that is not a major loss for bjp. The real loss for bjp is exit of one potential young talent for central ministry.
@JBtwet If KA was indeed offered but refused some good central post by NM, then it is not NM's mistake. It means KA thinks he can roll back the effects of his decision to join bjp in 2020. It cannot be rolled back, he will be disappointed in the end.
@Pradip_K_Varma I think JV (or his principal advisor) has mortal fear for facing parliament elections without PM face. So, JV will want INC. If RG by chance captures power in 2029, then that fear will become RG's leverage. RG wants to be more like his grandma than mama.
@Pradip_K_Varma Yes, a split along gender lines among UC youth is possible. This will be a test case to watch in 2029. I think IAC protests coupled with corruption scandals during UPA2 might've brought back some UC voters to NDA in 2014.
