Confusion worst confounded

SONIA GANDHI VISIT TO TRICHY

WARMTH IS MISSING FROM SONIA GANDHI

ON KARUNANIDHI - DMK feels so

By R Rajagopalan

Sonia Gandhi visit to Trichy in Tamil Nadu on Friday

has created a confounded confusion in the minds of

senior DMK leaders.And thereby future politics of Tamil Nadu.

DMK second ranking leaders feel that Sonia Gandhi did not

show her usual respect to Karunanidhi.

At the age of 87, Karunanidhi drove to Chennai airport to receive

Sonia Gandhi. DMK leaders expected Sonia Gandhi to share her mind

in private for half an hour- on irritant issues like 2G and Ayodhya.

Later of course about the Tamil Nadu assembly elections.

But Sonia Gandhi just after receiving the flower bouquet abruptly

left the VVIP lounge of the Airport to get into an helicopter.

HOW DMK LEADERS REACT ON

SONIA GANDHI VISIT TO TRICY?

One section of DMK feels that the mindset of Sonia Gandhi

has since changed. Sonia Gandhi should have shown courtesy

to Karunanidhi -atleast to his age of 87.This is how "inner ring"

leaders of DMK comment.

SONIA GANDHI VISIT CREATED MORE

CONFUSION IN DMK MINDSET

One

DMK leader Karunanidhi disappointed with Sonia Gandhi not

showing warmth

Two

Does it mean Sonia Gandhi begun to ignore Karunanidhi?

Three

Does it also mean that she would like to toe the line of politics

of her son Rahul Gandhi in ignoring DMK?

Four

Rahul Gandhi articulation for the past three years and his

influence on his mother Sonia Gandhi is so strong that she also

got carried away by abruptly walking away with the flower bouquet

at Meenambakkam airport on Friday.

Five

DMK has begun to speculate that two or three Congress leaders

holding high positions in the UPA2 are misleading Rahul Gandhi

and thereby Sonia Gandhi-

Sixth

DMK inner circle leaders feel that one or two Tamil Nadu Congress

leaders who hold high positions in Centre-are the crucial personalities

to create a differences between DMK and AICC

Seventh and most important is

DMK is concerned with the sudden shfit of Sonia Gandhi

attitude towards Karunanidhi- with Friday meeting with Sonia

Karunanidhi bacakdrop the DMK speculates whether there

is any serious plans afoot from AICC that in Tamil Nadu

elections in April 2011- TNCC will lead a third front with PMK

and Vijaykant?

WHY SONIA GANDHI TRICHY A FLOP SHOW?

In Trichy where Sonia Gandhi addressed Friday Congress meeting

is estimated as 35-40 thousands crowd.

When Karunanidhi addressed in the same venue in August he

attracted one lakh and odd.

But in July for Jayalalitha a remarkable crowd of 3.5 lakhs cheered her

TNCC does not have cadre accepts TNCC leader

Atleast with crowd statistics one would estimate the cadre strength of Congress in Tamil Nadu.

Comparing this, a senior DMK Minister gave an illustration.

Why P Chidambaram winning margin in 2009 LokSabha drastically

fell? In 2004 he won with a margin of one and half lakh votes,

Chidambaram downloaded almost all the 28 nationalised banks

branches in each street of Sivaganga..Banks growth was more than

the Tamil Nadu congress workers cadre? It is not DMK fault

commented a senior DMK leader

Comparing Chidambaram's Sivaganga with Palanimanickam's

Thanjaur parliamentary constituency just an adjacent constituency

Chidambaram winning marging why drastically been reduced.

in 2009 and a huge increase in Palani manickam winning margin.

Does this also not reflect that TNCC does not have cadre strength.

WHY TAMIL MEDIA NOT PLAY UP SONIA GANDHI VISIT TO TRICHY?

At the same time senior TNCC leaders are unhappy with the

tamil print media not playing up Sonia trichy show.

TNCC leaders suspect that DMK might have played foul

by calling up tamil dailies. Though this is a usual state government

pressure on media, but TNCC leaders suspect so.

Tamil media did not provide prominent display

Largest circulated tamil dailies did not give a good display

to Sonia Gandhi addressing mammoth meeting in Trichy

PURPOSE OF SONIA GANDHI VISIT TO TRICHY

Sonia Gandhi went to Trichy to induct a powerful Thevar leader

S Thirunaukarasar from BJP to TNCC. He merged his partymen into TNCC

before Sonia Gandhi on Friday.Arasar is a powerful Thevar leader

in his assembly constituency.He joined BJP and Vajpayee inducted

Arsar in NDA government.
