While I write this blog, my idiot box is relaying the live telecast of Mr. M Karunanidhi's swearing in ceremony. This grand old man of TN politics is coming to power for the 5th time. For the first time in the history of Tamilnadu politics a party has come to power without majority verdict in its pocket (hung assembly). DMK has come to power with the support of Congress and PMK (Dr. Ramadoss known for his notorious attacks on tamil cinema).

The Politics in Tamil Nadu has been under the control of the Regional parties since 1967.The state has been under the power of either DMK or AIADMK .

Does this signify the last days of Dravidar Kazhgams in the state? Tamilnadu ppl do want a breather...Alternatives like Vijaykanth and Lok Paritran (started by IIT alumni) have gained significant % of votes this time. Is the sun really setting in the DK land?
