Congratulations Madam. It's excellent that you are the winner come what may.Please serve proper justice to ALL TAMILS in SRI L:ANKA.
If any injustices have been committed those who are guilty should be ruthlessly punished.
Didn't one forces personality injure the Hon Rajiv Ghandi? Com on Lady, lets have the rights lead always.

SL tamil problem & tamilnadu fishermen problem are main issues in TN. New CM is against LTTE, but not against srilankan tamil.

ila Friday, 13 May 2011 01:54 PM

one of her political message is punishing war criminals in Sri Lanka.

Abdul Friday, 13 May 2011 01:24 PM

all TN politicians are very rude and they will only be worried about their political fate, they are just using the Tamils as a mean to grab voters, Had they worried about the Tamils in the North they would have supported GOSL, instead they were forced to do that by Central Government of India

whatever, this lady is much better than karunanidhi..

HUMAN Friday, 13 May 2011 11:56 AM

Funny thing here is both Tamil extremists and Sinhala extremists are happy about Karunanithi's loss.. Clear indication of his cheating politics - He s a FOX!!

SL Tamil problem is no issue in TN. If it was an issue, jaya would not have thrown Vaiko out of the alliance before the election. Lankan Tamil supporter Thirumavalavan has lost badly, and not won a single seat.

Alageshwaran Friday, 13 May 2011 07:35 AM

The victory of the AIADMK was due to the anti-incumbency. The main issue in TN was steep Price Rise, Power Cuts, Corruption and poor Law & Order. Those parties which took up Lankan issue have no place in this election. Thirumavalavan of VCK could not win a single seat. Jaya chased Vaiko out of the alliance well before the poll itself. BJP, which tried to cash in on lankan issue, has also not won a single seat.

Tiger sympathizers are jubilient, but i hv to say tht this is an old granny who cannot harm the sri lankas integrity

Corruption

Sajeeva Friday, 13 May 2011 06:51 AM

Rajapakshe regime will be in trouble soon through the pressure she will give to Indian central gov.

hafeez Friday, 13 May 2011 07:02 AM
