I remember the lines of my mentor Mr.Bala V Balachander “There is nothing called free lunch”… Until a week ago I was telling people that I’m going to Vote for AIADMK in spite of my friends who favored for DMK… Though I’ve favored DMK all these years I’ve decided to go for a change because;
- Too much of dominance of Kalainger’s family…
- Involvement in India’s biggest scam till date (The 2G Scam)…
- For Introducing Freebee politics into Tamil Nadu… Not sure how many people know it… Offering freebie’s in last five years had put the TN government coffers from positive to negative… Today TN has lost Rs.1,00,000 crore from its exchequer…
Of the above I mainly opted for AIADMK is that they will not enter into freebee politics… Now AIADMK joining into freebie’s I’m left with no choice… It is said that honoring freebie promised by DMK or AIADMK will put TN exchequer into deficit of Rs.2,50,000/- crore in another 5 years…
When down-trodden states like Bihar started voting for good governance; it is sad to see a educated state like TN is going back to dogs… We are all happy with the peanuts offered that too from our own tax money…
Now both the predominant dravidian parties option for freebie politics I’m left with no choice :(… Now I’m confused as to what to do next… Also I considered to go for 49(O) but that is going to make no sense…
With lot of thinking I might vote for AIADMK if elections happened tomorrow;
- Since I’ve never favored a coalition government in the State… I’ve seen the case of coalition government in Karnataka under Janata-Dal(S) which has taken Karnataka back… Since AIADMK is contesting 160 seats I want to give a clear mandate for them… DMK contesting 120 seats it is difficult for them to win all 120 seats…
- My assumption is JJ being iron-fist would take bold decisions and can go back from her freebie promises if given a clear mandate…
Though I’m not happy with both the dravidian parties I’d go with AIADMK for the moment… But it is too early to confirm because there are 2 more weeks and I might consider a shift based on annexure to poll promises…
