Mr. Vijayakanth – The Mystery Man or Master Blaster?

The suspense around Mr. Vijayakanth is out now. Tamil Nadu politics is taking a new dimension and many statesmen in Tamil Nadu are feeling thrilled, elated and enthusiastic with the master stroke of Vijayakanth to contest the coming assembly election without aligning with either of the Dravidian major. This gives a big hope to many people in Tamil Nadu.

Many people in Tamil Nadu are sick and tired of having to drink the same wine that comes in different bottles like DMK or AIADMK, election after election. They did not have any viable alternative political force to offer hope and solace. But today Mr. Vijayakanth has proved that he is neither an enigma or mystery but indeed a master blaster.

Tamil Nadu people have come a long way in Dravidian politics and the people are seriously looking for a big change. The Bay of Bengal has brought a big change in Tamil Nadu in the form of Tsunami way back in 2004 and the unprecedented rain this year has flooded the otherwise dry and hot Chennai. Now it looks like Mr.Vijayakanth may bring the much-needed change in Tamil Nadu politics.

Needless to say, Mr. Vijayakanth is ‘King’ and may end up as ‘Kingmaker as well.

The extraordinary articulation, flawless, factual speech and the highly empowering & inspiring leadership style of Mrs. Vijayakanth have really made a great impact among people in both educated and people in the low socio-economic class.

In the freebie dominant Tamil Nadu politics, the courage and conviction shown by Mrs. Vijayakanth to educate the people to realize their responsibility to build the future of new Tamil Nadu than queuing for freebies have really woken up many people.

Among various political parties in Tamil Nadu, Vijayakanth is not yet tested by people of Tamil Nadu. The political sincerity and conviction to provide corruption free administration shown by Mr.Vijayakanth, no one in Tamil Nadu can deny. From that perspective, many people from even the higher strata of the society feel that Mr.Vijayakanth deserve a chance.

Coming days are very crucial. Mrs. Vijayakanth must swiftly reach different parts of Tamil Nadu with the clear scheme of how they are going to change the state. Big bag idea or path breaking approach are not required to change the state.

Effective utilization of the resource, Minimize if not eliminate corruption in infrastructure building, create employment opportunity and give reasonable fairness to merit, improve the sanitation facility and health care system to poor people in rural India by adopting scientific health care practices than bogged down to age old tradition and mixing philosophy & linguistic practices with science, uninterrupted power & water supply, better education for poor people are only Tamil Nadu wants.

Giving freebies is not bad but we must ensure whether such freebies are required and if so, are they reaching the needy?

The intelligent Mrs. Vijayakanth if prepares an actionable and realistic manifesto and present it before people, really she could become a kingmaker in making Mr.Vijayakanth – the King.

People are tired of blaming, abusing, mudslinging politics. Matured politics with achievable promises, commitment to reduce corruption and passion for making Tamil Nadu the best place to live, Mrs. Vijayakanth can catalyze.

Until yesterday, people thought Mr.Vijayakanth as a mystery man, but today they are convinced that he is a master blaster. When people clap for his master stroke, the day is not far away, people may make Mr.Vijayakanth, the King of Tamil Nadu.
