Wide Margin of Votes

General elections to Tamil Nadu State Assembly have shown that Tirupur North records highest margin of votes. M.S.M Anandan of the AIADMK defeated C.Govindasamy of DMK who was expelled from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) last year. The margin of difference was 73271 votes. The next largest margin of 69,776 votes was in Palladam constituency in the western belt between the winner K.P.Paramasivam of AIADMK and the loser K.Balasubramanian of DMK. Yet another western constituency Kavudampalayam saw a margin of 69260 votes between V.C.Arukuuty of the AIADMK and T.P.Subramanian of the DMK. It seems the voters have entered the booths to take revenge on the DMK candidates with a vengeance. The anger of the public in this part of the state is reflectd in such huge margins. The only exception in favour of the DMK was found in Tiruvarur, the birth place of the party supremo viz., Mr M.Karunanidhi with a margin of 50249 votes. The attempt of the parties to woo the voters with cash had not played any significant role whatsoever. The family rule and sky-rocketing inflation have overtaken the freebies distributed by the DMK government and the promise for further sops out of taxpayes' money. As a citizen of this country I am proud of my Tamil society which has taught a lesson to the politicians with bad intentions and murky deals all over India. People cannot be befooled for votes anymore. They are as vigilant and intelligent as the maturity and determination of the Election Commission of India has revealed.


The real masters of Indian Democracy namely the voters are the real heroes of the day!
