The party is on

Maybe it is a little late in the day, but I just thought it was interesting the kind of messages that seem to be published in prominent blogs regarding the new government in Tamilnadu.


Celebration at Burma Bazaar

Alaphia's lament

Sambhar's rant

Though the DMK won fair and square, it almost seems like there is no real expectation from this government. It is almost accepted that things are going to go downhill with those near to the govt reaping the benefits. Will want to write a post later on this phenomenon of Sun TV...do we need a Chomsky?

I am just wondering if this is also an acknowledgement that the previous govt actually did a decent job but then the arithmetic of coalition politics just won here.

If nobody is really expecting good things from this government, then why did they get elected? (hmmm...reminds me of how President Bush got elected in the US with a really low popularity vote)

On the other side in Kerala, the youth have given up hope on any good thing to happen in the state irrespective of who is in charge. With VS becoming the CM, the expectation is negative. In fact, the only thing becoming news is the struggle between VS and Pinarayi Vijayan...
