Tamilnadu seatwise prepoll prediction by Yellayi Rajesh

This entry is part 9 of 11 in the series Pre-poll seatwise predictions by Promise of Reason readers

Dear friends, These are my Predictions for TN. However, I have to Admit, it’s A Rough one going by The Trends and Past Record(Including Delimitation factor takien into consideration).

In TamilNadu, The Key Players this Election would be : AIADMK Combine which includes PMK,MDMK,CPI,CPI(M), DMK-Congress-VCK Combine.
A Lot of Hype surrounding Captain Vijaykanth’s DMDK. However, Poll Observers and Analysts feel that being Directionless, DMDK has lost sheen.Going for The Parliamentary Elections alone, He has refused to Join The Open Invitation of State BJP Chief, Ila Ganesan and instead was seen hobnobbing with TNCC President giving clear indications that He would support upa post polls.Since Tamils are Extremely Angry over congressand would Teach A Lesson to anyone hobnobbing with them in This election, aspersions are being cast on whether he can retain the 8.3% vote he earned in 2006!!!!!
BJP Too has Formed Primarily with Sarathkumar’s Nadar outfit and Karthik’s Thevar outfit. However, As Karthik’s outfit is contesting on BJP’s Symbol, Technically, The Alliance is Primarily between BJP And AISMK of Sarath Kumar. Read the rest of this entry »

Madam Mayawati, Maulana Mulayam and the plague of money

maya-mulayam

I love politics, period. I love its intricacies, its goals, its randomness, its ideals, its malice, but above all I love the political personalities – angels and daemons alike. I love to watch them grow, toil, meander and make their way around. There are two politicians from my home state UP, whom I have been observing for their whole careers when they were on main stage (so to say, for my whole life, for last 20 years :) ). Both of them are representative of oppressed classes in Indian society. Both of them have such strong leadership qualities for their supporters, that millions can move on their one signal. Both of them are arrogant and crude in their way. Both of them are so called “outsiders” in Indian political class. Both of them have been CM of UP several times. Both of them are very important in equation of next government formation. Both of them are facing corruption charges. Yes, I am talking about Madam mayawati and Maulana Mulayam. Both of them are staunch enemies of each other. Both of them are very interesting characters and fascinate me very much. Read the rest of this entry »
