#DMKFiles analysis:
1. I know for a fact that @annamalai_k has only updated his dossier on TN corruption which he has been building since 2018.
2. What is out in public is just the tip of the iceberg.
3. He has a clear game plan, but we will know the rules only as we play on.

4. Every reaction to #DMKFiles has been expected and counter actions already mapped - we will see this unfolding in the coming days.
5. He has shown absolute courage by straight-hitting Stalin so that there is no doubt about his intentions, also shows how he positions himself.

6. By adding "this is Modi's direction", he has sent a message to old world politicians including those in BJP that his path is what BJP will walk, not the other way round.
Annamalai wanted to do the Nadai Payanam soon after Assembly elections. He had that plan for some time.

Here is my take on @annamalai_k 's latest press meet.
The debate is not about BJP going solo vs BJP going with AIADMK, it is about whether or not to place national interest above Tamizh Nadu being freed from the clutches of the Kazhakams.

As I have said many times in the past, alliance with AIADMK is the choice of the central @BJP4India in the larger interests of the country -
to ensure Congress Mukth Bhārath, and ensuring strength in Rajyasabha.
Alliance with AIADMK is key as every number is precious.

Why Congress Mukth Bharat?
Congress is the only party that still has a pan-India root. Even in the remote villages, Congress is a familiar party, and there is always a risk of resurrection.
It only takes a young vibrant leader to revive the party.

In response to questions on my thread about Nirmal Kumar's exit, here is detailed view of BJP-AIADMK relationship.

~ EPS was a good administrator. Given time, he will rise to the stature of JJ and even MGR. He has the cunning, patience, skills, determination, and genuine wish to serve people.

His biggest weakness was L&O. His drawback is that no matter how effective he was, he still was the
product of the DK ideology and ecosystem. So, he let his party's (shared) revenue model allowing his district/ward level leaders to continue to live on extortion, commission, and corruption at the grassroot.

I respectfully disagree with most views on BJP's position wrt 2024 and 2026 in TN (also Kerala).
Here is my reason:

~ In TN, this means give maximum scare to Stalin and prompt him to ask all allies to
