TNEB — it’s really frustrating at my place with frequent power cuts, sometimes more than 10 times a day. People are supporting your party because of the good work you’re doing, but one persistent issue like this can overshadow and ruin the goodwill you’ve built.
Unpopular opinion: TVK should trade for PTR from DMK and hand him the Finance Ministry. Let him prove his mettle by putting the state’s finances back on track and reducing the debt. #justsaying
We had nauseating, disgusting levels of corruption in Tamil Nadu under the DMK. This is known to the entire Universe, not some grand secret.
It reached such Himalayan heights, their own Finance Minister, someone not corrupt who was caught up with the corrupt crowd, was complaining about it (sadly for him his remarks became public and he was demoted to became the IT Minister).
This is not about ideology.
Even the Marxists of Kerala, then allied with the DMK, would say how deeply corrupt the DMK was.
I have always appreciated people like Shri Balagopal, the former Finance Minister of Kerala, for his devoted public service. I am sure he and I will not agree on political philosophy or ideology but I deeply respect him.
If the DMK truly wants to introspect, they must start with their corruption.
Instead, they spend their time attacking a messenger like me as a TVK stooge or a Brahmin or a Sanghi and so on.
May be they can study Kural 423: focus on the message, even if the message comes from a "Brahmin Sanghi TVK stooge" like me:
