Hurray!! Every Tax payer in Tamil Nadu is now a Venture Capitalist! The socio political fabric in Tamil Nadu could well and truly emerge as a bench mark for other State Governments to follow.
A couple of years back, Amma hit this brainwave that she could use the public exchequer to invest in a distillary/distribution system which is by and large her very own, and then supply it back to the poor and famished at whopping margins, and claim to have done moral policing on liquor consumption.
Now the new kid on the block, the Junior Maran, is more than happy to reinvest /re channelise the 6000 crores into the Colour TV scheme, and earn through the extra revenues that is generated through Sun TV. This is perhaps the best business model that an entrepreneur could dream of. Get money from public, sell it to the public, and make merry in the bargain.
Just when I thought I could suggest one more way of getting more capital into these roaring businesses by not having elections at all in Tamil Nadu, since we prefer localities, bus route suffixes and institutions to be changed every five years, the emergence of, dare I say, a third front in Tamil Nadu, in the form of DMDK, does set the tone for more options for the voter in the coming elections.
What I am looking forward to in Chennai landscape in another two months is the removal of all these non glamorous olive green “TASMAC” boards and Bullet Beer hoardings, and being replaced by “Malar Wines”,”Deepa Wines” and having some creative portraits of Aishwarya, Sneha and the likes on them. Aiya Jolly!
And as much as we keep ridiculing Captain for his antics on screen, and confusing that with his capabilities in real life, I guess the middle class in Tamil Nadu has also realized that it is no mean task to contest in all constituencies within one year of forming the party as would be deeply appreciated by Fledgling parties like Lok Paritran.
Though the Rising Sun is back in Power, I think the real dawn for Tamil Nadu is just round the corner!

Arun,
What you have said seems so true. I am someone who is as far away from TN politics as possible, yet I cannot feel a sense of relief that Gabtain has indeed managed to divert the voters from these 2 biggies.

Right said dude. Its an eyewash and sadly not many ppl realise it.
As for captain, tremendous indeed. and figures say he banked 10% of the total votes which is very high for a first timer.
This is really what is called as vote bank politics..
Although, the idea can be borrowed by entrepreneur for big business..rite?
