The issue with some nationalists/BJP supporters is that they are often impatient and try to be skeptic at the cost of consistently setting a narrative.

Success of communists across all realms of social life is due to their patience, consistency, and focus on long term outcomes.
An example of how some nationalists fail is #DMKFiles. They say this won't create much of an impact and then hop on to other things.

How will it create an impact if you are not willing to repeat the story every day until your relative who is not on SM tells you this story?
Keeping #DMKFiles in discussions and using catchy phrases like how @HRajaBJP set the anti-DK narrative will help widen and deepen the RIPPLES.

1.3 LAKH CRORES.

Some people go hungry as they don't have ₹130 towards food.

Some die as they don't have ₹1300 to pay off a debt.
Children go to substandard schools as they don't have ₹13K to pay towards tuition fees.

Girls stay at home, as they don't have ₹1.3L towards their marriage.

Businessmen go bankrupt as they don't have ₹13L.

With ₹13,40,00,00,00,000, ONE CRORE poor girls can get married.
Then some people wonder India is still a poor country.

We will never be rich unless we call this corruption out. Since when have we become so numb to corruption?

Passing this off as a political stunt is a bigger crime than amassing so much money illegally.

#DMKFiles

#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.

Seeing the comments below this tweet, looks like most are new to my views.

To clarify, I believe L Murugan will be CM of Tamizh Nadu in future. Annamalai has said he will not be CM.

But he may become CM, but may not be here for long as he is needed at the centre.
Those who follow my views know that I have been saying all this for some time.

I have always said that Murugan and Annamalai work together.

Those who give me unsolicited advice think they both are in different camps.

If you believe that, you know little about BJP.
In fact, all that I have said about leaders have come true over the years.

In August 2020, soon as Annamalai joined BJP, I welcomed him as future CM of TN and later said he will be PM. Many criticised or advised me.

Just like how I got responses in the mid-2000's when I said

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.

What is important? What will happen?
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.

However, for LS elections,

I view this issue seriously.

While some of the victims of the sting don't deserve my time, I do care about the ones I respect.

Urge you not to judge by what the sting selectively revealed. There is a broader issue behind.

This is about how a counter narrative is broken.

1/6
Karunandihi started controlling the narrative in TN by giving free Television and the the cable network through his nephews.

After two decades, for the first time some journalists started to counter the DK narratives through SM.

These voices were independent and unrelated.
It takes time, money and enormous risk to counter this evil deep state (TJ,LT,EC,Communist,DK).

Just when they were getting successful, something like #Madan happens that will shake their confidence.

It was false premise, offering rewards for consultancy for election strategy.

TN Politics - Note 10

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

~ As I said in Jaipur Dialogue in Jan 2021, EPS had everything to lose in 2021 Assembly Elections. He was seeking re-election as sitting CM.
~ 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.

~ Until 2019 LS Elections, EPS did not realise that

EPS is not that low on political acumen to poach BJP leaders. Some people leaving TN BJP isn't the issue.

Focus should be on what they are saying when they leave. There is a pattern.

They are all forced to say the same things which didn't exist until a day before.

1/8
Reason?

Create an impression, and further the narrative against @annamalai_k and make it appear that there is an internal resistance against him.

As I have said before, there is no such plot. It is just some people who have expectations of various kinds that don't align with
the new BJP culture led by @narendramodi and @AmitShah

I don't know if some SM influencers genuinely got deluded or have played their part knowingly,

but the lobby that goes beyond EPS/DMK think consistently beating the drum will get Delhi believe the Goebbelsian narrative.
