Annamalai is right, the fight is between BJP and DMK and not AIADMK. Let AIADMK if it desires, fight DMK. Fight of BJP in Tamil Nadu should focus on corruption where both the Drawidians parties would go defunct.
EPS might have been under the calculation that by moving away from NDA, he can attract congress and other fringe players into his fold but that looks farfetched as on date mainly due to the lack of trust and ability of EPS and his party to win any seats in coming election.
BJP should boldly announce that the party will not tolerate nasty criticism of EPS led AIADMK by siting over the shoulder of BJP and enjoying transient ‘amnesty and immunity’…….
AIADMK has been dying, but thanks to the support of Modiji, the death of the party got delayed. But now EPS has decided to bury the party alive by deciding to snap ties with BJP in the state.
Annamalai has caused enough and more sleeplessness to AIADMK politically, the central agencies also must do the same to all those corrupt AIADMK leaders for their past corruption charges and only then AIADMK would realize the extrapolation of the past is not going to work in the state, Annamalai and BJP has changed the entire landscape of Tamil Nadu politics.
If congress party slip its position and might now fail to eliminate all regional parties from the political fray and consolidate minority vote through high decibel minority outreach and appeasement programme, congress cannot come to centre stage ever in future.
If the regional parties celebrate the victory of congress in Karnataka means, they are celebrating the beginning of their ruin and start preparing nothing short of writing own epitaph.
Annamalai is seen by most people of Tamil Nadu as the future of Tamil Nadu from leadership per se and therefore, the central leadership of BJP must pamper Annamalai and must provide him free hand and space.
Among all age groups of people in Tamil Nadu, irrespective of the caste and gender difference, Annamalai is the new and only icon of hope, promise, confidence and trust.
DMK is right to think that the party does not have a strong opposition in the state due to infights within the main opponent AIADMK and the BJP has not grown so much in the state to challenge DMK, as on today.
