Split Tamil Nadu (TamilNadu) into two states? - Chennai and Chennai as two capital cities!??

Is it good or bad to split Tamil Nadu into two states?

Well, hold on, hold on...This is only a question. I am not in favour of anything. This article is just an analysis. This is a highly political question.

After the outbreak of the decision of Central government to split Andhra Pradesh, there were lot of celebrations and oppositions from Andhra people from different parts of the state for the decision made. Following that, there were many states in the country asking for splitting their state too. In that, one of them was Tamil Nadu.

Not all of the political leaders were in favour of the split of Tamil Nadu. One of them was PMK party leader Dr.Ramadoss was in favor of the split of Tamil Nadu. Dr. Ramdoss said in an interview that - "While he proposed for the same split of Tamil Nadu long back, there was huge opposition, but there is no one opposing the split of Tamil Nadu NOW. Things have changed and people seem to like it, if proposed. Here is the video of Dr. Ramadoss in a press meet about split of Tamil Nadu. Why did they branch out and bring High Court to Chennai? Because - people from south do not have to go all the way to the Chennai city – that is the reason. It is all administrative convenience. Similarly the state can also split and be administered better.” – said PMK Leader Dr.Ramadoss.

What would they do if they split Tamilnadu into two states? North Tamil Nadu and South Tamil Nadu will be two states. There would be equal money contribution from the Center for development of states. Chennai would be the capital of former and Chennai would for latter. Obviously, there would be more concentration of improvement in Southern districts of Tamil Nadu, but the integrity as ONE TAMIL NADU will be broken. Will we want that?

The split should not have been talked about, but since the topic has come up, let us analyze it - right? We are not in favour of anybody, but just let us talk about it.

As ONE Tamil nadu, we have been integrated all the time wherever we go. Say - what if someone asks for separate country for Tamil nadu – will you accept it? I guess – it was already asking for These kinds of proposals will be always there. What is wrong in the current setup as ONE TAMIL NADU as part of ONE COUNTRY INDIA? Why can’t we just live with one tamil nadu state, and as a part of one country India. Why do we have to split it?

Some might argue that – administration will be better and improvement focus can be given to areas which are not given much attention. Quality and improvement of people in those areas can be increased.

In other side, separate administration will lead to a new ministers and have more funds flow and some politicians might favour from it. In other hand – people in the southern districts might also get favoured. Having said that – Did Jharkand or Uttaranchal improve drastically, just because it was split into two states?

Though the topic is very political, the situation is going to be same – even though the split happens.

What I would say is – let us just live with the same setup and live as ONE TAMIL NADU, instead of the split of the state. This will avoid new expenses like elections and doing some personal favors.

Let us try to improve as one state and one country and one mankind world!!

Vijayakanth changes DMDK candidate in Chennai

DMDK had Muthulakshmi as the candidate for Chennai. But, after the announcement of DMK as Mr.Azhagiri being given the seat in Chennai, DMDK evaluated the situation in Chennai.

DMDK President and Actor Vijayakanth decided to change the DMDK candidate for Chennai. Kaviarasu is the candidate from DMDK now. Muthulakshmi is moved to sivaganga most probably. Kaviarasu was a business man in Chennai leading the youth club of Vijayakanth fans.

There is not much popularity for Kaviarasu, however Vijayakanth is a popular personality among Chennai folks. We are not sure about the motive behind this change.

A vote in Thirumangalam election is worth Rs.1000 from one party.
Say Party A gives Rs.1000, at the sametime Party B also give Rs.1000 for the same person.

A single family has husband and wife. If that family includes parents as well, then it is probably worth Rs.4000 or Rs.5000.

All the businesses, theaters, hotels, restaurants, alcoholic bar shops etc., are getting good business.

Is it a stimulus package for Tirumangalam constituency - Chennai!!!???
