"An exit poll conducted by Times Now TV channel and Hansa on Monday night predicted a clean sweep for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led Democratic Progressive Alliance in Tamil Nadu and for the Left in West Bengal and Kerala and a hung assembly in Assam in the assembly elections."

I welcome the DMK in Tamil Nadu (though both Amma and MK sir are corrupt. But the lesser evil will be MK Sir.) Atleast he has experienced minister's with him. Another point is that , if DMK were to win MK Sir is not expected to live to the next election. And as far as i know, the polls say that it will be a tight race but not expected to be a hung assembly.
My parents are in Chennai now and i shall ask them upon return who is the most likely to win. Stalin has already stated that he maynot be the one to replace the DMK in theevent of MK's death or poor health.
My question is : When will india or TN ever have a good politicians like Dr. Mahathir Maohammed (Malaysia) or The PM of Singapore. If politicians were like those people, India/TN would be a better place to live.

TK,

R u going to use MK picture (as seen in some of your posts) from now on instead of Amma's? Ditch the sinking ship and change colours?


DIO

If some one brings the DMK's leader's pcicture in the CD library of Avatars, then i will use it. Otherwise , the JJ's picture will remind me of the bad days TN had with her. Here also i am not generalising but just voicing my preference. So please donot think that i am insulting anyone/ any region etc...
TK
Sidnote : MK is also as bad as amma but only slightly better according to my view. But MK is very popular among teachers in TN as he raised their pay scales like anything. Again just my view.
