Many Tamilians' scepticism about Karunanidhi's real priority in his political career were confirmed when he enacted a foolish "non-cooperation movement" with Sonia Congress last week. When his whole time & effort should have been spent in directing aid flow & rehabilitation efforts through Indian and International pressure on the Sri Lankan Government to help rehabilitate the displaced Sri Lankan Tamils due to the terrorist flush-out there, our man, who never misses a chance to proclaim his "தமிழ் பற்று" was confabulating with Congress negotiators for plum ministerial berths in the yet to be formed Union Government for his kith & kin. Even though he was not fully fit healthwise, that has not prevented this man from undertaking a long air travel from Chennai to Delhi because he knows the importance of bagging the 'right" ministries so that regular "income' to his party is assured. Moreover, he wants to personally make sure the "right person' is put in the 'right job' lest there can be 'leakage" in income and may be "business secrets"(?) too. So much for the Tamil Nadu public, who have been believing this man for the last 60 years or so.
Now, it transpires from this, that Karunanidhi's negotiations have borne fruit & he is going to install all his "right men" into the Central Cabinet. It looks like he also almost got what he wanted originally, though there are a few changes. Here is the Swindler's List of Karunanidhi:
1. Son gets Chemicals and Fertilisers
2. Grand-Nephew gets Textiles
3. Chinna Veettu Binaami gets IT & Telecom (same as last cabinet)
4. Palanimanickam gets MoS in Finance 9same as last time)
5. Nepolean gets MoS in I & B (good for Sun & Kalaignar Channells)
6. Jegathrakshakan gets MoS in Railways (PMK's loss is DMK's gain)
7. Gandhiselvan gets MoS in Rural Development (small mercies for the loss of Shipping & Surface Transport)
Prominent names missing from this list are T.R.Binaamilu and M.P. Daughter. I think Karunanidhi will be having other things in mind for them, which we will come to know very soon.
Once these people are sworn-in and take charge, then, only then, karunanidhi's focus will turn to other things. Whe n he is busy with "major" and 'important" problems like ministry making for his kith & kin, how can people expect him to concentrate on "small matters' like Sri Lankan Tamils' sufferring?

It is really Sad that Karunanidhi bagged so many ministerial berths. Initially I had the feeling that congress wouldn't succumb to DMK's wish list. But somehow, this guy had managed to get what he wanted.
Unfortunately nobody questions him and despite the known fact that this guy does things only for his family members, the people have voted his party again. Don't know whether people have got their senses or not. The situation in Tamil Nadu is similar to what it was in 1996. If this guy continues to rule TN, then God save TN.

Excellent post about Mu Ka. Where Modi / Nitish / Naveen Patnaik and all came back just because of their developmental work this man this time proved world that it can be done by spending money calculatedly aiming for the reap aftermath.. I can understand it in one way that Mr.Vijaykanth had his share for being alone and splitting the votes this time.everybody got their share and it was the Public who were made fools again.. We have been seeing this drama again and again and for a change I thought this time it will be opposite way around but Congress has clearly shown us they can't take pressure and succumbed now as per your "Swindlers's List" they have opened their Dept.Stores and start collecting money.
A Goon has become Minister.
God got to save TN for Mu.Ka and his family members.

Arunji,
Superp Analysis about Kalaingar's political stand with Sonia congress :). His "Thamizh patru" only to his multi level Family.
Really how true is your observation.
In the newspaper today , seeing the face of dayanidhi maran smiling, I counld'nt stand the sight of his face. Is he just smiling in anticipation of how much he is going to swindle the exchequer?

டி ஆர் பாலு கண்டிப்பாக தேவையில்லை என்று பிரதமரும் முடிவெடுத்து இருப்பார் என்பது உண்மையாகவே இருக்கக் கூடும்...ராசா மீண்டு(ம்ம்) வந்தது ஆச்சர்யம் , அவமானம்...
கனிமொழி பதவி ஏற்பு விழாவை புறக்கணித்து விட்டார்... நல்லது..
மற்றபடி, இம்முறை முக்கிய இலாக்காக்களை கூட்டணிகளுக்கு கொடுப்பதில்லை என்று காங்கிரஸ் முடிவெடுத்தது, ஜம்போ காபினேட்டை பார்த்து மயக்கம் போட்டவர்களுக்கு லேசான நிம்மதியையாவது தந்து இருக்கும்....

Though Jaya has managed to "wrest" the Title of "KOLLAI KAARI" from Karunanidhi, Karunanidhi, was, is & will always be, remembered as the BHEESHMA PITHAMAHAR OF CORRUPTION IN INDIA.
He was the one who started off the corruption cultute in TN & India way back in late-60s/early-70s with Madras Corporations' Muster Roll case, Veeranam Water Pipe Deal, corruption in Wheat Deal, etc. Justice Sarkaria Commission, which was appointed to enquire into those dubious deals, came to the conclusion that those deals were, prima facie, done with many discrepancies & were not done according to the then prevailing Govt. norms and approvals.
So, howsoever Jaya and SUN TV may try, Karunanidhi will, at least to those who knew about those days, always remain as the Corruption King of India & Jaya can only be the Second-Best, even there!!!
Arunji
Title is very apt.........
