AIADMK will go it alone in Lok Sabha elections

Every Politician of Tamilnadu thinks that the people can be cheated by words for ever and ever. From her recent frienship, the way she will turn in 2014 is very well known. Still such a statement.

It is a commendable decision by AIADMK supremo.The people have not fogotten the 2G loot by the DMK which is part of the ruling UPA dispensation for the past 9 years...The common man (Aam Admi) who was the fulcrum of the UPA has moved away...The Goverrnment is neck deep in corruption including the himalayan Coal scam, Adarsh scam and Common wealth scams...AIADMK needs to create a wave similar to the one just before the 2011 TN Assembly elections.The campaign has to start immediately by if it wants to replicate the success of the Assembly elections

It is indeed a wise decision taken by Ms.Jayalalitha. As pointed out
by her both the BJP and the Congress have done very little so far in
the cauvery issue. Now even the other dravidian pary in the State is
playing the game politically without pressurising Centre for
publication of the Tribubal order in the Gazette. People who knows the
issue very well will definitely appreciate her decision. <

The people of Tmilnadu are very much aware of indifference shown towards Tamilnadu by centre for one reason they are not depending on AIADMK support. Even genuine request of Tamilnadu is either delayed or kept unnoticed. DMK which is part of UPA govt also not fulfilling its duty for the people who elected them and because of holding ministerial posts. Therefore AIADMK is contemplating to hold power at centre for the benefit of the state.

Madame lost a precious opportunity to catapult herself on the national scene and demonstrate her acceptability as a national leader by demonstarting a spontaneous emotional involvement as a woman fighting for the cause of women's security, soon after the despicable Dec 16 event in Delhi. And the fact that the current national leaders in Delhi were slow to respond to the gravity of the incident would have also helped her, had she reognized the political opportunity.

Even if you win all 40 MP seats, what you think you can do or achieve? If you can't hold sensible dialogue with your own opposition in the state because of ego, how are you going to deal with Karnataka?

This is the problem with regional parties - no respect for the party wanting to form government at centre, taking undue advantage of lack of majority and milk every single opportunity, don't care attitude for the aspirations of people of other states. Unfortunately this is not union of states working cooperatively to accomplish greater things for all states and India. Far from it.To the CM of TN - please grow up, show some class and prove to all that you are a genuine leader of India.

It is a political compulsion at the moment to make such an announcement and elections are far away and only then the true stand will be known. It will be disasterous for any political combination to go alone as it would only help others united in defeating AIADMK by any means. I will not be surprised if the DMK will Join hands with BJP for that purpose.

It is a daring risk the CM has taken to go it alone in the 2014 General elections.Whether her calculated risk will fetch her good dividends or will she come a cropper remains to be seen.But some minister is reported to have spoken earlier about the acceptability of Ms.JJ as the PM candidate to some leaders like Nitish and outfits like the CPI-M and BJP.This seems to be like reaching for the moon too soon and may prove an impediment to her ambitions.

I dont think BJP will take the bait since she was the person who toppled the government in 98. Both Jaya and Mamtha can never be trusted

If that is what the astrologers suggested so be it!!
Again this may set up a trend to get rid of the thousands of so called mom and pop parties.

The picture talks a lot about the way our politics work...

The 2014 election may have an impact in how the centre - state resolve the power crisis. The power crisis can be sorted out easily by co-operation. The electoral success depends on whoever is successful - congress or ADMK, in resoultion or bringing obstacles to resolution.

Yes,If Tamilnadu is to progress with the ruling Government in place,a brutal majority of MPs in the centre is a must.
It is not enough if the AIDMK party cadre go into propaganda,but also the social service organisations without any party affiliation should educate the agriculturists,Industrial workers and the general public about the money for vote,freebies which are detrimental to their own cause.
DMK had an opportunity to serve the causes of Tamilnadu with the majority MPs at the centre,but it was frittered away for highlighting their party's and the family preferences.

AIDMK need not have any electrol alliances with BJP and Congress but emulate some of the well administered states like Gujrath.

Why does the minister bent like that? We are in 21st Century. days of Raja's are gone. This is why India is like this and will continue to be like this for many more centuries to come.

Karnataka unit of the BJP would now have a sigh of relief and thank her
for her decision not to align with the BJP.

MDMK, PMK,Vijayakanth, leftand right had joined with J and burnt their fingers.No other go but AIADMK has to sail alone in 2014 parliament election. Even if she win all 40 seats and join hands with NDA / third front to form govt.in central, Cauvery problem will not be solved as long as political leaders governing Karnataka go after votebank politics.
Let us pray there is copious rainfall every year.

Close to Election we can see Absolute U turn from Jayalalitha.

Ruthless increases in bus fares, electricity charges, milk prices plus daily more than 15 hours power cut in the state. With these credential to her credit, do you think people are stupid to vote her again? Go it alone and leave us alone! Enough is enough of her challenges.

The photograph of a senior minister is highly illuminating the feudal administration in AIADMK. DMK is exists for a family and the other leading party, DMDK, leadership is high-handed. Others such as VCK and TMK are caste-based. It is high time the Tamils emancipate themselves to come to the politics of modern age. Wish they will vote for a completely new party.

Hope that this statement is not ruse to negotiate for more seats..!! Pity the poor cousins - CPI / CPM / DMDMK / MDMK. The captioned photograph is quite apt. The erstwhile allies - including the natural allies - would be required to fall in line. Let's cross the bridge when it comes..!!

The fate has forced Selvi.Jayalalitha to enter politics and she has been learning faster to discriminate between the chaff and the grain; there is a possibility that she may shrug off the coterie of sycophants and may form a team of her own to give better governance to the people. We observed that in spite of the much talked about "Tirumangalam formula" the common people of Tamilnadu gave a firm verdict to her. She may win a large number of MP seats also, who knows.

What a photograph? It shines the light on the inner party democracy in AIADMK.

I think why not ? She is only trying her best to improve our life,she is sincere, dedicated and needs all the support from the public when center, ruling ,opposition - everyone is trying their best that she fails , let public suffer.....

Well done Selvi Jeyalalithaa!
Let the corrupt parties know the strength of the Dravidian Tamils and demand for equality, respect and dignity from the Centre.
Eelam Tamil issue is boiling TN and AIADMK will will all seats with large majority. The New Delhi 23 Year old rape victim will haunt the failures of the UPA regime and UPA regime's collaboration with the Sri Lankan regime is in history books and TN will continue to defeat parties that are ally to the Congress for ever.

Those who travel farthest travel alone. This is a high risk bet. Then, nothing ventured -
nothing gained. She has to ensure a few things at ground level. Provide good governance at
grass root level. Be ruthless on corruption. In India, justice is in short supply. Show a sense
of urgency in prioritising and execution of issues matter to masses. IF she can do these may
be she can get a 30+ seats.

Challenging in the Lok Sabha race by AIADMK is not the right and correct decision.Standing alone in the election will be give the negative out put due to reguler power cut which affected the people of Tamil Nadu entirely.

This is of course a bold decision on the part of AIADMK; of course the 'other' dravidian party does not have the courage to challenge the AIADMK by standing on their own.

If Tamil Nadu and Pondichery is to benefit, the people should vote AIADMK.They should understand the designs of Karunanidhi.

Yes;AIADMK will sweep 40 !

While it is a challenging decision taken by the AIADMK supremo, she literally needs to take the challenge to its logical conclusion. This would mean that she should keep AIADMK house in order in that she should ensure that all its ministers/mlas and cadres work together to achieve this goal. More than anything else, the governance should speak for itself. Attending to grievances and avoiding scams and scandals should be accorded priority. The MPs/MLAs/councillors must be told to tour the whole of Tamilnadu as extensively as possible and meet the people as frequently as possible. No one should be allowed to sit at the headquarters and every one should be on the move. They should be told to submit reports each time they visit the respective constituencies. In short, every one including the cadres must be in touch with the people as then only the AIADMK supremo's challenge can be met.

AIADMK will go in alone, it is good decision but the problem is now power cut and other issues which will be challenge for her party in 2014 election time definitely.

Sensible!
