Coming elections

Everyone and his dog has a theory about how this elections will go. Here is one more of mine:

In 1980, there was a parliament election. DMK/Congress combined won 38 seats out of 40 in TN/Pondy. The ruling ADMK ended up with just 2. The victors wanted to cash on quick and dismissed the state government and arranged fresh elections to the Assembly.

Mr. Karunanidhi was arrogant and declared himself the future CM. DMK contested 117 seats with congress contesting 117. MGR was returned to power with 130 seats with both the opposition allies less than 50 seats each.

Now in 2004-06 also the same situation. The mega koottani won the MP elections handsomely and they are already slapping themselves for the victory in assembly elections. But JJ is going to win and win big. Vaiko made the right decision.
