OVER A CUP OF COFFEE - TAMILNADU ELECTIONS

Tamilnadu Elections - Blurred vision of Neutrals and Fear Psychosis of /Freebies favouring of common Man
Gopu and Shyam discussed about the Tamilnadu elections and the coffee on the table too had its flavour of the famous filter coffee in a local restaurant.  Even they were referring about the Kumbakonam Filter coffee and joked it has gone the way of Bangalore Iyengar's Bakery with no Bangalore Iyengar managing and all over the Tamilnadu on the way side's you get so called Kumbakonam Degree Cofee.

There is no meaning in telling BJP's presence in Tamilnadu is not adequate and thus the votes will be wasted by voting to them. All parties which sprung up in Tamilnadu did not make their presence felt in all issues governing people. Because of catchy slogans deriding caste, beliefs and assurances of freebies many of the local parties made a dent and initially found a place in Tamilnadu politics. The Dravidian parties which came to power were favoured by the people of Tamilnadu by alternating between DMK and AIADMK with either to show their disapproval of those in power or in total support of those in power. Disapprovals came with local issues of grabbing of land, murders of known persons, award of contracts and looting in a brazen way and also the govt's failure to provide water and electricity on day to day requirements. Support came to these governments with unlimited and unscruplus opening of Tasmac everywhere and also by freebies on not only festive occasions but by a way of life, be it food grains, tv or mixie etc. Even lowering of marks for passing examinations for lower standards was tried by one government. As long as satisfaction came to people with freebies, they never even thought of looting by these parties and continue to extend their support and also have a mindset to even demand money/liquor/food to vote. Other smaller parties were riding on the back of these two parties and even national parties did not think it is wrong to do that.

It is as if, the governance of Tamilnadu has been given on a lease to these parties either by the central govt/national parties or by the people of Tamilnadu, so much so that these parties could think that they can do whatever they want and interfere with the day to day life of the common man and loot the temples, interfere with the religious beliefs. A fear psychosis exists in Tamilnadu that one is not safe by condemning the Dravidian parties and the goons will pounce on those doing so and killing people for gain/creating fear too and that is the order of the day. Even those who were advocating against corruption and call themselves neutral on political leanings like Cho had to openly say that as long as You dont vote for DMK, it is OK. It is known to everyone that DMK and AIADMK are matchaan/maappillai parties with people from the same family/relatives in either of the parties and many are hand in glove to loot in every available opportunity by way of contracts.

Then how one can vote for either of the parties or its alliances.

People should shed their fear on the voting day and overcome the booth capturing and proxy voting Dravidian parties and vote fearlessly and by bringing a national party to the fore in Tamilnadu. This is the time and will the Election Commission too put down the politics of fear and allow a free and fair voting.

Will the people of Tamilnadu vote for new national party and take the benefits coming out of--
1. Direct receipt of disbursement of money on disasters and help in agriculture and other loans without middle men through a Jhan Dhan Yojana bank accounts
2. Insurance and pension schemes announced by the Central government to be implemented early on war footing
3. Take the benefit of announcements on Infrastructure on roads, industry and from increased FDI.
4. Non-interference in the religious beliefs and temple funds.
5. With improved job opportunities, giving a go by the freebies Raj
6. Pave way for normal life without fear - without misuse of Police and Official machinery
7. For a better relation with Srilanka and saving of fishermen being used as Pawns in Politics of Tamilnadu.
8. Early normalcy to the displaced Tamil origin people of Sri Lanka without unnecessary interference - again not to become Pawns of Tamilnadu Politics.
9. Fresh set of politicians taking over the reins and implement Central Govt schemes without any obligation to anyone and thus get the full benefits from the schemes.
10. Not but not the least, a new person totally away from the political hero worship of Tamilnadu and not from Film Industry to take over as the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu.

This will call for Voting Lotus and Lotus only.

While shaking hands and departing, Shyam and Gopu wondered whether they would be getting a coffee like this elsewhere and assured to meet again.
