1996 was the first election that I witnessed. I was about to step into my teens when this happened. Whoever had seen 91-96 Jayalalitha’s governance would have wanted her out of power. (1/n) #RememberingKalaignar #Remembering_kalaignar
She even lost her fight in Bargur. It was such a thumping win. I was elated that DMK was coming to power (because Appa supported DMK) . The 96-01 period was one of the best governance I had witnessed. (2/n) #RememberingKalaignar #Remembering_kalaignar
Chennai was getting transformed. Then came 2001 elections and I was confident that DMK will retain power. Till date I don’t understand how those elections turned. (3/n) #RememberingKalaignar #Remembering_kalaignar
You compare 91-96 governance to 96-01 there is no way I could have voted for ADMK. The most passed comment is web by நடுநிலைs is “திமுகவுக்கு கூப்பு தான்”. (4/n) #RememberingKalaignar #Remembering_kalaignar
Losing 2011 elections is still acceptable because DMK made mistakes, but losing after opposing emergency, 91 and 96 never makes sense. “கூப்புல உக்காந்தது திமுக இல்லடா, தமிழ் நாடு” (5/n) #RememberingKalaignar #Remembering_kalaignar
