Karunanidhi spent most of his time in office spending time with sycophants and attending programs eulogizing him as the greatest Littérateur or Administrator this world has ever seen. He never gets tired of praisers which a normal sane human would do. His detractor, Jayalalithaa, calls herself a Mother despite not having nurtured a child and has greatest thrill in blessing people above her age prostrate before her. She calls herself as the Messiah of Social Justice. Irony is that these people profess EQUALITY of people and communities. Mismatch between lips and deeds, here it is in abundance.
Let us make a quick assessment of these Leaders.
Karunanidhi , a sweet tongued orator has clear personal goals. Annadurai's son Parimalam told me that Anna used to be wary of Karunanidhi's games and Karunanidhi used to call him short guy(kuttaiyan). Though absent at DMK's founding meeting , he prevailed on the Director of the movie Periyar to amplify as if he was present on the occasion. Lies are his forte. pretense his breadth. His weakness for his family was exemplified at the World Tamil Classic Conference(which began the death knell of his party) at Coimbatore wherein his family adorned the dais and other family members gave cultural performances despite being novices. Self interest and self importance are the purpose of this man.
Jayalalithaa's party men burnt down a bus carrying girl college students and 3 girls died in the planned event. till today, Jayalaithaa has not apologized to the incident as any person, leave alone a Mother, will do. What kind of mind does this female possess who loves calling herself a revolutionary female?
Recently she spoke in the TamilNadu assembly in response to Opposition Leader Vijaykanth's tirade against her. She was wild, with ugly facial contortions seen on women at the local public water taps whenever there is a fight for a pot of water. She called Vijaykanth ineligible to hold office...What eligibility she has except the fact that she was MGR's concubine? If she claims that people have chosen her to high office, it is also a fact that they have elected Vijaykanth. Arrogance, short temper, revengeful, petty..Jayalalithaa is all these rolled into one.
Jayalalithaa has been dumping her Ministers and shuffling them like a pack of cards on a weekly basis. It is a different matter that none of the Ministers have any ability or credibility except as street thugs who can play double games and it doesn't matter whether they remain in office or not. people are never the beneficiaries. As i write this , she has blocked ads to important newspapers such as The Hindu, Times of India, Deccan Chronicle and Dinamalar because they chose not to praise her for her follies. Misuse of public machinery and public wealth has been the bane of Political parties.
The bigger problem with these Misleaders in Tamilnadu is that they do not suspect sycophants but are wary of honest critics. They hallucinate themselves as Gods.
They do not realise that they are being vulgar in their self displays but feel secure like a frog in the well in the safety of pathetic supporters who will most willingly desert them when better opportunities to make a living without working for it, comes their way.
People should try and become different so their lives will become different. Otherwise they will continue to eat shit packed to look like treasures .
