DMK did a colossal blunder. They thought nobody could touch them.

But BJP is smart. Here is what team BJP did.

(1/n)

#DMK_Files

Had BJP raided the residence or offices of the core family, say that of Stalin, Udhay or Sabreesan, this would have been called out a vendetta. The issue would have taken a political color with bandhs etc.

BJP made a smart decision not to go after the family (2/n)

In fact, BJP for now decided not to go after even the senior ministers like Nehru, Ramajayam or TR Balu. They went after the money. G-square. Note that they decided not to go after Red Giant directly because of reason mentioned earlier - as it is Udhay’s child. (3/n)

DMK team did two idiotic things here. First, they mocked Annamalai to take the proof to government agencies. They thought nobody could touch them due to the political power wielded. Little did they know that they were falling into Annamalai’s trap.(4/n)

Second, GSquare voluntarily mentioned that they are not connected to the first family. Unfortunately this statement make BJP’s job easier.

DMK now cannot claim that BJP is after them. Afterall, IT is only raiding a company not related to them, by their own admission. (5/n)

IT does not do raids just like that while going after top targets. The flow of money through these 100+ shell firms are documented through bank statements and ROC filings. IT knows that the violations are significant. (6/n)

DMK is now finding itself between a rock and a hard place. Even if the assets of GSquare and related firms are frozen, it is a big loss to the party financially. (7/n)

The common man does not care. He may hold the first family in high esteem, but not anyone else. In fact, everyone knows the firm has amassed enormous wealth. Many within the #DMK are jealous too.

The writing is on the wall. It is only a matter of time. (8/8) #DMK_Files
